Glycans, a major class of biomolecules, are expressed on every cells surface and play an
important role in maintaining health with their perturbation causing disease. Polysialic acid …

Polysialic acid (polySia), a homopolymer of α2, 8‐linked glycans, is a posttranslational
modification on a few glycoproteins, most commonly in the brain, on the neural cell adhesion …

Expression of the large extracellular glycan, polysialic acid (polySia), is restricted in the
adult, to brain regions exhibiting high levels of plasticity or remodeling, including the …

Polysialic acid (PSA) is a negatively charged carbohydrate polymer, which confers
antiadhesive properties to the neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM and facilitates cellular …

A large body of the literature has demonstrated that the polysialic acid (polySia) modification
of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is a key regulator of cellular interactions during …

PolySia, the most striking post-translational modification of the neural cell adhesion
molecule, is down-regulated during postnatal development. After peripheral nerve lesion …

Polysialic acid, which is synthesized by two polysialyltransferases, ST8SiaII and ST8SiaIV,
plays an essential role in brain development by modifying the neural cell adhesion molecule …

Owing to its poly-anionic charge and large hydrodynamic volume, polysialic acid (polySia)
attached to neural cell adhesion molecule regulates axon–axon and axon–substratum …

Polysialic acid (polySia) is a sugar homopolymer consisting of at least eight glycosidically
linked sialic acid units. It is a posttranslational modification of a limited number of proteins …

Polysialic acid (polySia) is mainly found as a modification of neural cell adhesion molecule
(NCAM) in whole embryonic brains, as well as restricted areas of adult vertebrate brains …
