#Glycans probably have more "copies/cell" than #proteins and changes in #glycosylation could potentially be remarkable biomarkers for diseases as well as targets for therapeutics. This post highlights the abundance of glycans on the cell surface and it is worth a read.
Have you ever wondered how many N-Glycans or #glycoproteins there are on cells?
The numbers are massive: calculations suggest about 20 to 200 million N-glycans per human cell!
