Protein | Sugars in glycan† | Reference |
---|---|---|
BSA | Non-glycoprotein | |
ovalbumin | Man, GlcNAc, Gal | 56–58 |
PSM | GlcNAc, GalNAc, Fuc, Gal | 59 |
BSM | GlcNAc, GalNAc, Fuc, Gal, Sia | 60 |
fetuin | Man, GlcNAc, Gal, Sia | 61, 62 |
invertase | Man, GlcNAc | 39, 63, 64 |
asialofetuin | Man, GlcNAc, Gal (<0.5% Sia) | 61, 62 |
The glycan structures of ovalbumin, fetuin, invertase, and asialofetuin have been determined. However, BSM and PSM glycans are only fully known by composition due to large size and heterogeneity.
