Protein N -Glycosylation in Cardiovascular Diseases and Related Risk Factors

AbstractPurpose of ReviewProtein glycosylation has been observed to associate with different diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Most of these observations are related toO-glycosylation, yetN-glycosylation changes have recently gained more attention.Recent FindingsN-Glycosylation alterations are associated with CVDs and play an important role in disease development: directly and indirectly through risk factors associated with the disease.SummaryThe changes ofN-glycosylation are a new risk factor for CVDs and have significant biomarker potential for disease development, progression, and therapy monitoring.
