Glycated Proteins

Advanced glycation end products formed from the spontaneous, non-enzymatic reaction of sugars with free amino groups in proteins. In the past, a glycosylated protein sometimes referred to a glycated protein. GLYCOSYLATED PROTEINS is now restricted to proteins glycosylated by GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASES or via specialized organic chemistry reactions.
