Term ID

GO:0016267

Synonyms

• core 1 O-glycan biosynthesis
• mucin type O-glycosylation
• O-glycan processing, core 1

Definition

The stepwise addition of carbohydrate or carbohydrate derivative residues to the initially added O-linked residue (usually GalNAc) to form the core 1 O-glycan structure, Gal-beta-(1->3)-GalNAc.
