N-linked glycosylation of protein, illustration. N-linked glycosylation is a process that occurs in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. During N-glycosylation, a carbohydrate chain is added to the amino acid asparagine of a protein to form a glycoprotein. The addition of carbohydrate moieties helps in protein folding, protein targeting and during cell-cell interaction
