My lab happens to study one important type of O-glycosylation.
O-glycosylations are carbohydrates linked through hydroxyl groups of
serine or threonine of the protein. There are different types of
O-glycosylations. They have different functions.
(1)O-GalNAc(mucin type)
Originally, O-glycosylation only refers to this type. This type
of glycosylation has usually extended chains(but less branched than
N-glycans). The first carbohydrate moiety linking to the protein is
N-acetylgalactosa
