From: Aberrant glycosylation associated with enzymes as cancer biomarkers
Enzyme | Short form | Implication in aberrant glycosylation |
|---|---|---|
polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase | ppGalNAc-T | Increased incomplete systhesis of O-glycans |
N-acetylglucosamine transferase V | GlcNAcT-V | Increasedβ1-6 branching of N-glycans |
α 2-3 sialyltransferases | ST3Gal I, ST3 Gal IV | Increased expression of sialylated glycans |
α 2-6 sialyltransferase | ST6GalNAc |  |
