A glycobiology schematic uses Symbol Nomenclature for Glycans (SNFG) icons to depict monosaccharides positioned above a blue circle labeled S/T (serine/threonine). The blue square represents GlcNAc (N-acetylglucosamine), the yellow square represents GalNAc (N-acetylgalactosamine), and the magenta diamond represents Neu5Ac (N-acetylneuraminic acid, sialic acid). It illustrates an O-linked glycan (type: carbohydrate moiety) attached to the hydroxyl of a protein residue, showing the hierarchy of monosaccharides forming a glycan on a polypeptide. In biochemistry and glycobiology, O-glycosylation influences protein stability, trafficking, and cell–cell recognition.
