Description
Sugar chains (glycans) are often attached to proteins and lipids and have multiple roles in the organization and function of all organisms. They participate in activities as diverse as protein folding, leukocyte physiology and microbial pathogenesis. Genetic defects in their assembly are at the root of a growing list of human disease. This text presents a gateway to the understanding of glycans, and offers a textbook approach to describing their biogenesis and function. Written and edited by glycobiologists with experience in both teaching and research, this volume aims to be of interest to both students and established investigators in developmental biology, cell biology, neuroscience, immunology, and biochemistry, who need a complete yet concise introduction to this burgeoning field.
Table of Contents
- General principles
- biosynthesis, metabolism and function
- proteins that recognize glycans
- glycans in genetic disorders and disease
- methods and applications.
