Enzymatic Biosynthesis of N-Linked Glycan by the Marine Sponge Microciona prolifera

Tissues of Microciona prolifera appear to contain an enzyme activity, here named N-acetyl glucosaminyltransferase I or GnT I, that processes N-linked glycans. The activity is part of a series of enzymatic events, which are described.
