Abnormal protein N-linked glycosylation
An anomaly of protein N-linked glycosylation, i.e., an abnormality of the protein glycosylation process in which a carbohydrate or carbohydrate derivative unit is added to a protein via a nitrogen atom in an amino acid residue in a protein. [ HPO:probinson PMID:22516080 ]

Essentially, all proteins (except albumin) that travel through the ER-Golgi network undergo N-linked glycosylation. Glycans promote protein folding, stability, trafficking, localisation, and oligomerisation. They play vital parts in cell-cell interactions and intracellular signalling.
