Passport sequence tag promotes glycan maturation

Caption

Glycoproteins tagged with the passport sequence (PS) are recognized by cargo transport receptors and transferred to NUCB1. Furthermore, galactosylation and subsequent sialylation of the glycoproteins are promoted by galactosyltransferases located in proximity to NUCB1.
