Abstract:Primary monolayers of isolated rat hepatocytes were cultured in the presence of [2-3H]mannose and [ l -' 4 C ] f~~~~e to label metabolically the carbohydrate portion of glycoproteins. Subsequently, glycopeptides were prepared by extensive pronase digestion in order that the relative occurrence of N-linked oligosaccharides could be examined by lectin-agarose affinity chromatogra-The results indicate that isolated rat hepatocytes are able to synthesize many of the N-linked oligosaccharides known to be present in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
