However, N-glycosylated proteins were exclusively enriched in pathways of plasma lipoprotein particle remodeling, complement cascade, complement and coagulation cascades, binding and uptake of ligands by scavenger receptor, serine endopeptidase activity, platelet degranulation, and insulin growth factor (IGF) regulation, many of which are known to be associated with T2D (Fateh-Moghadam et al., 2005; Fadini et al., 2014; Haywood et al., 2019). The gene discussed is IGF1; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
