Protein N-glycosylation in cardiovascular diseases and related risk factors

Purpose of Review Protein glycosylation has been observed to associate with different diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Most of these observations are related to O-glycosylation, yet N-glycosylation changes have recently gained more attention. Recent Findings N-Glycosylation alterations are associated with CVDs and play an important role in disease development: directly and indirectly through risk factors associated with the disease. Summary The changes of N- glycosylation are a new risk factor for CVDs and have significant biomarker potential for disease development, progression, and therapy monitoring.
