O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine transferase plays an essential role in heart development through regulating angiopoietin-1.

PLoS Genetics, 2020
O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) is the only enzyme catalyzing O-GlcNAcylation. Although it has been shown that OGT plays an essential role in maintaining postnatal heart function, its role in heart development remains unknown ...
