A schematic glycan diagram illustrates an N-linked oligosaccharide branching from an asparagine (N) residue. Using SNFG (Symbol Nomenclature For Glycans), green circles denote mannose (Man) and blue squares indicate N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), forming the chitobiose core with high-mannose extensions. In the biological hierarchy, this carbohydrate molecule is a post-translational modification on a glycoprotein within the extracellular domain or luminal face of secretory pathways. In glycobiology and biochemistry, such N-glycans modulate protein folding, stability, trafficking, and cell–cell recognition.
