glycosylation and protein degradation
Glycosylation refers to the process of attaching sugar molecules, known as carbohydrates, to proteins in order to modify their structure and function. Protein degradation, on the other hand, refers to the breakdown and removal of proteins in the cell. This process is essential for maintaining proper protein levels, removing damaged or misfolded proteins, and regulating cellular processes.
