Abstract

Abstract: O‐GlcNAc is a common post‐translational modification of nuclear, mitochondrial, and cytoplasmic proteins that regulates normal physiology and the cell stress response. Dysregulation of O‐GlcNAc cycling is implicated in the etiology of type II diabetes, heart failure, hypertension, and Alzheimer's disease, as well as cardioprotection. These protocols cover simple and comprehensive techniques for detecting proteins modified by O‐GlcNAc and studying the enzymes that add or remove O‐GlcNAc. © 2021 The Authors.
