Does anybody know of examples whose subcellular distribution may be
etermined by their differential glycosylation state. This has been
suggested as a possible reason as to why a particular protein may exist
in both a membrane-bound and secreted form, both exhibiting different
glycosylation patterns.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
