Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In N-linked or type 1 glycoproteins, the oligosaccharide is linked to the side chain of an asparagine residue in the protein via a N-glycosidic bond. This type of glycosylation is performed in the endoplasmic reticulum and the oligosaccharide is subsequently modified in the Golgi apparatus.
