Can I read Paucimannose N-glycans in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster on EtoBox?

Paucimannose N-glycans in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster by Harry Schachter is a Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Paucimannose N-glycans in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster about?

There is a rich diversity of paucimannose N-glycans in worms and flies, and these may play a role in the survival of these organisms. Although paucimannose N-glycans are not expressed in vertebrates, complex N-glycans may take over some of the functions of paucimannose N-glycans. Identification of the target proteins of beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GnTI) in worms and flies and elucidation of their functions may thus lead to a better understanding of the role of GnTI-dependent glycoproteins in the survival/longevity of both invertebrates and vertebrates.

Who reads Paucimannose N-glycans in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology.
