From: Characterisation of N-glycans in the epithelial-like tissue of the rat cochlea
A profile of N-glycans in stria vascularis. Strial 79 N-glycan types determined by the workflow shown in Fig. 3 are listed in (a). In this panel, the amount of each glycan was normalised to that of N-5 (Man6GlcNAc2, i.e. M6), which is the most abundant among all the glycan species. Yellow, orange, blue, and green bars indicate paucimannose, high-mannose, complex, and hybrid type glycans. Structure of the glycan marked by black bar belongs to either complex or hybrid type (see text). Data on these 79 glycans are derived from Table 1 and Supplementary Tables S1 and S2. The numbers of sialic acid residues attached to glycans are also shown below the names. Pie graphs in (b–d) describe populations of paucimannose (yellow), high-mannose (orange), complex (blue), and hybrid (green), and hybrid or complex type (black) glycans (b) and proportions of sialylated (purple) and core-fucosylated (red) glycans (c and d, respectively). For comparison, the proportion of each of the four glycan types (see b) is also shown at the edges of graphs (c and d).
