FunctionMay contribute to rigidity of the membrane and cation binding. The existence of membrane glycoprotein in wall-less Thermoplasma acidophilum may provide a protective coat for plama membrane.
Glycosylation Status
Glycosylation TypeN(Asn)- linked
Technique(s) used for Glycosylation DetectionPAS staining and ConA-Sepharose column chromatography, and deglycosylation
