id: GO:0006491
name: N-glycan processing
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: The conversion of N-linked glycan (N = nitrogen) structures from the initially transferred oligosaccharide to a mature form, by the actions of glycosidases and glycosyltransferases. The early processing steps are conserved and play roles in glycoprotein folding and trafficking.
