Protein <i>C</i>-Mannosylation and <i>C</i>-Mannosyl Tryptophan in Chemical Biology and Medicine by Shiho Minakata, Shino Manabe, Yoko Inai, Midori Ikezaki, Kazuchika Nishitsuji, Yukishige Ito, Yoshito Ihara

“…A <i>C</i>-mannosylation-defective gene mutation was identified in humans as the disease-associated variant affecting a <i>C</i>-mannosylation motif of W-x-x-W of ADAMTSL1, which suggests the involvement of defects in protein <i>C</i>-mannosylation in human diseases such as developmental glaucoma, myopia, and/or retinal defects. On the other hand, monomeric <i>C</i>-mannosyl Trp (<i>C</i>-Man-Trp), a deduced degradation product of <i>C</i>-mannosylated proteins, occurs in cells and extracellular fluids. …”
