An antibody reactive to the Gly63–Lys68 epitope of NT-proBNP exhibits O-glycosylation-independent binding

The N-terminal fragment of prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a commonly used biomarker for the diagnosis of congestive heart failure, although its biological function is not well known. NT-proBNP exhibits heavy O-linked glycosylation, and it is quite difficult to develop an antibod...
