CyMAL-5 neopentyl glycol is a membrane protein that is n-glycosylated. Its deglycosylation has been shown to be inhibited by light exposure, which may lead to an increase in the population of this protein. CyMAL-5 neopentyl glycol is a ligand for the G protein coupled receptor and can be used as a fluorescent probe for labeling and staining. It has been shown that the binding of this ligand to the receptor alters its conformation, causing it to activate downstream signaling pathways. The crystal structure of CyMAL-5 neopentyl glycol has also been determined, revealing its large size and shape.
