"Aglycosylated" means "not glycosylated".
Maybe, "non-glycosylated" would be more easy to understand but non-glysosylated and aglycosylated seem to be a little different in definition.
>A "non-glycosylated" protein is a protein that does not have the
>oligosaccharide attached to the protein. This may be due to various
>reasons, including but not limited to, the absence of enzymes
>responsible for the addition of the oligosaccharides to proteins.
>The term "non-glycosylated" encompasses both proteins that have not
>had the oligosaccharide added to the protein and those in which the
>oligosaccharides have been added but were subsequently removed.
>An "aglycosylated" protein may be a "non-glycosylated" protein.
>A "non-glycosylated" protein may be either an "aglycosylated"
>protein or a "deglycosylated" protein. |
