Passport control for glycan maturation: Discovery of a molecular tag that enhances biopharmaceutical quality

Nov 27, 2024

A collaborative research group, including researchers from Nagoya City University, National Institutes of Natural Sciences, and RIKEN has uncovered a molecular tool, the "passport sequence," that significantly improves the production efficiency and quality of glycoproteins, such as blood coagulation factor VIII and erythropoietin (EPO).
