The Role of Sialic Acid in the Catabolism of Plasma Glycoproteins

  • Chapter

Abstract

The fashion by which glycoproteins or, in general, protein molecules in plasma are eliminated from the circulation and eventually degraded is at present unknown. A vast amount of work on protein turnover, mainly pertaining to albumin, has established that unlike more complicated organized structures (i.e., cells) proteins have no definite life span and each protein molecule, regardless of age, has statistically the same chance of being eliminated.1
