Abstract

The large-scale N-glycosylation analysis is critical for biomedical research, since a variety of diseases are found to be associated with glycoproteins. By a combination of glycoprotein analysis in insoluble protein fraction solubilized with 1% v/v 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIM BF4) and those in soluble fraction, a total number of 462 nonredundant N-glycoprotein groups, including 316 transmembrane glycoproteins, were successfully identified. Correspondingly, 849 unique N-glycosites were confidently recognized. The data set could provide a support for the further in-depth research of brain N-glycosylation, such as for the discovery of candidate drug targets and biomarkers.
