Abstract
Mucin-type O-glycosylation is an evolutionarily conserved protein modification present on membrane-bound and secreted proteins. Aberrations in O-glycosylation are responsible for certain human diseases and are associated with disease risk factors. Recent studies have demonstrated essential roles for mucin-type O-glycosylation in protein secretion, stability, processing, and function. Here, we summarize our current understanding of the diverse roles of mucin-type O-glycosylation during eukaryotic development. Appreciating how this conserved modification operates in developmental processes will provide insight into its roles in human disease and disease susceptibilities.Entities:
