Abstract:The protein oligosaccharyltransferase-48 (OST48/AGE-R1) is integral to protein N-glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) but is also postulated to act as a membrane localised clearance receptor for advanced glycation end-products (AGE). AGE accumulation is implicated in liver injury, diabetic kidney disease and diabetes-associated metabolic disorders. To date, however, there has been minimal investigation into the role of OST48 in kidney and liver function under either physiological or diabetic conditi… Show more
