Such a fabulous work ⬇️ the more I read it, the better it gets!
Katrine and team led this trojan, brilliant work demonstrating how O-glycosylation selectively regulates LRP1 ligand binding and response 🙏 We looked at why these CRs (GALT11) O-glycans are hyposialylated 🤔

Next time you hear 'glycans are just a fancy protein decoration' 😱 show them this fabulous work led by Katrine Schjoldager and team at the CGR 🇩🇰 with us 🇬🇧 showing how
The ligand preference of LRP1 is regulated by O-glycans
