Figure 7From: Ghrelin-like peptide with fatty acid modification and O-glycosylation in the red stingray, Dasyatis akajeiPredicted primary structures of stingray GRLN-LP. Stingray GRLN-LP is modified by n-octanoic acid at Ser-3, and mucin-type sugar chains at Thr-11 or both Ser-10 and Thr-11. These structures were predicted based on protein sequencing and MALDI-TOF MS/MS of peak 4 (mass-2, m/z 2742.33) and peak 2 (mass-2, m/z 3513.74) that are indicated in Table 1. The predicted compositions of the glycan chains of other isolated stingray GRLN-LPs are shown in Table 4.Back to article page
