Glycoproteins carrying O-linked N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylgluco-samine, mannose, fucose, glucose, and xylose are found in the nervous system. Lipids can be glycosylated as well. Membrane lipid, ceramide, is modified by the addition of ...

Many membrane-resident and secrected proteins, including growth factors and their receptors, are N-glycosylated. The initial N-glycan structure is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as a branched structure on a lipid anchor (doli...

The brain consists of neurons and glial cells. Neurons are responsible for integrating input and responding to stimuli from both the internal and the external environment. The integration occurs via electrical and chemical signals that impi...
