PPCA Glycosylation sites
PPCA, is synthesized as a 542 amino acid precursor with a molecular weight of 54kDa. and it dimerizes soon after synthesis. The sequence contains two glycosylation sites, Asn 117 and Asn 305. It also contains nine cysteines. The spinning protein ( ) is human protective protein with the glycosylation sites represented in stick model colored by atom.
