... many sugars for signaling purposes: either glycoproteins or proteoglycans. For example: Secretory vesicles in the Golgi cisterna use mostly mannose, galactose, and NAG (N-Acetlyglucosamine) to make the necessary glycoproteins for export. Oh, and all those glycoproteins and glucosamines in ...

Monosaccharides means just one molecular of sugar. Thus take your pick of glucose, lactose, galactose, mannose, xylitose, for the six carbon sugar, but there is also the five carbon sugar fructose. define simplest.

... genes by very complex mechanisms of recombination and mutation. The components of the innate immunity (e.g. Toll-like receptor on macrophages, mannose-binding lectin in the plasma) have their specificity encoded on a genomic level, are expressed in similar form on the surface of every cell ...

... vacuoles are the counterparts of lysosomes. Actually, they are pretty much the same thing, only they have different sizes. They both employ the mannose-phosphate tag, the targeting sequences are similar, they both use proton pumps to generate a low pH etc. Of course, they have many different ...
