glycosylation and protein trafficking
Glycosylation refers to the process in which sugar molecules are attached to proteins, modifying their structure and functioning. This post-translational modification plays a crucial role in various biological processes. Protein trafficking refers to the intracellular movement of proteins from their site of synthesis to their specific destination within the cell or outside of it. This transportation of proteins is vital for maintaining their correct localization and ensuring their proper functioning.
