Glycosylated and non-glycosylated NT-IGFBP-4 in circulation of acute coronary syndrome patients

Although glycosylation suppresses PAPP-A-mediated IGFBP-4 cleavage, a considerable amount of glycosylated NT-IGFBP-4 is present in blood. Glycosylation does not influence NT-IGFBP-4 measurements using a specific sandwich immunoassay.
