Beta-1, 4-galactosylransferase (β4Gal-T1) participates in the synthesis of Galβ1-4-GlcNAc-
disaccharide unit of glycoconjugates. It is a trans-Golgi glycosyltransferase (Glyco-T) with a …

There are five major classes of glycan including N-and O-glycans, glycosaminoglycans,
glycosphingolipids, and glycophosphatidylinositol anchors, all expressed at the molecular …

The current success rate of transplant surgery and immunosuppression has led to a demand
for organs that has outstripped the supply. This has required investigation of alternate …

Abstract The Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous group of heritable
connective tissue disorders characterized by skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, and …

Syndecan‐1 is a proteoglycan that concentrates heparin‐binding factors on the surface of
multiple myeloma cells, and probably plays a major role in multiple myeloma biology. As …

Purpose Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) contribute to the initiation, development, and

β-1, 4-galactosyltransferase-1, a housekeeping enzyme that functions in the synthesis of
glycoconjugates, has two flexible loops, one short and one long. Upon binding a metal ion …

Background B4GALT5 is postulated to be an important protein in sugar metabolism that
catalyzes the synthesis of lactosylceramide (LacCer). However, its role in hepatocellular …

The mammalian fertilization process takes place in a complex microenvironment within the
