Term Name: N-glycan processing
Synonyms: glycoprotein trimming involved in glycoprotein maturation, N-linked glycoprotein maturation
Definition: The conversion of N-linked glycan (N = nitrogen) structures from the initially transferred oligosaccharide to a mature form, by the actions of glycosidases and glycosyltransferases. The early processing steps are conserved and play roles in glycoprotein folding and trafficking.
