Zebrafish appears as a relevant model for the functional study of glycoconjugates along
vertebrate's development. Indeed, as a prelude to such studies, we have previously …

Functional genomics and proteomics studies of the developmental glycobiology of zebrafish
are greatly hampered by the current lack of knowledge on its glycosylation profile. To furnish …

Abstract Enzymes of the St8Sia family, a subgroup of the glycosyltransferases, mediate the
transfer of sialic acid to glycoproteins or glycolipids. Here, we describe the cloning of the …

The glycan part endows cellular glycoconjugates with significant potential for biological
recognition. N-Glycan branches often end with α2, 3/α2, 6-sialylation, posing the question …

Cell surface of eukaryotic cells is covered with a wide variety of sialylated molecules
involved in diverse biological processes and taking part in cell–cell interactions. Although …

Sialyltransferases are a family of enzymes catalyzing the transfer of sialic acid residues to
terminal non-reducing positions of oligosaccharide chains of glycoproteins and glycolipids …

Sialyltransferases are Golgi type II transmembrane glycoproteins involved in the
biosynthesis of sialylated glycolipids and glycoproteins. These sialylated compounds play …

In vertebrates, the carbohydrate polymer polysialic acid (polySia) is especially well known
for its essential role during neuronal development, regulating the migration and proliferation …
