Popis: In diabetes, glycation is a nonenzymatic posttranslational modification resulting from the bonding of a sugar molecule with a protein or lipid followed by oxidation, resulting in the development of advanced glycation end products (AGE). Like glycation, carbamylation is a posttranslational protein modification that is associated with AGE formation. Glycation of extracellular matrix proteins and low-density lipoprotein with subsequent deposition in the vessel wall could contribute to inflammatory response and atheroma formation. It is logical to extrapolate that carbamylation may result in modification of vessel wall proteins similar to glycation, and predispose to atherosclerosis.
