A stylized glycobiology diagram depicts a branched N-linked glycan attached to an asparagine residue, rendered with SNFG (Symbol Nomenclature for Glycans) shapes. Blue squares indicate GlcNAc (N-acetylglucosamine), green circles Man (mannose), a yellow circle Gal (galactose), a magenta diamond Neu5Ac (N-acetylneuraminic acid, a sialic acid), and a red triangle Fuc (fucose), forming a fucosylated, sialylated oligosaccharide. The entity is a carbohydrate molecule (glycan) on a glycoprotein, hierarchically a sugar chain on a protein at cell surfaces and in secretory pathways. In biochemistry and glycobiology, such N-glycans regulate folding, stability, trafficking, and cell–cell recognition.
