Investigation of prostate specific antigen glycosylation [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2000 In the present work, prostate specific antigen (PSA) glycosylation was examined by lectin affinity methods. The results obtained indicated that PSA purified from human seminal plasma contained at least one bianntenary N-linked oligosaccharide ...

Loss of perineuronal net N-acetylgalactosamine in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Acta Neuropathologica, 2005 The perineuronal net (PN), a specialised region of extracellular matrix, is interposed between the neuronal cell surface and astrocytic processes. It is involved in the buffering of ions, in the development, stabilisation and remodelling of synapses and in the regulating the neuronal microenvironment particularly around the parvalbumin-positive ...

A lectin histochemical study of the thoracic respiratory air sacs of the fowl
Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2005 The lectin-binding characteristics of the epithelial lining of the thoracic air sacs of the chicken were determined. Con A, LCA and PSA bound to the apical membrane as well as to the cytoplasm distal to the nucleus of the surface epithelium, indicated

O-Glycosylation of NnTreg Lymphocytes Recognized by the Amaranthus leucocarpus Lectin
Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2013 O-glycosidically-linked glycans have been involved in development, maturation, homing, and immune regulation in T cells. Previous reports indicate that Amaranthus leucocarpus lectin (ALL), specific for glycans containing galactose-N-acetylgalactosamine ...

Substrate Promiscuity of N-Acetylhexosamine 1-Kinases
Molecules, 2011 N-Acetylhexosamine 1-kinase (NahK) catalyzes the direct addition of a phosphate from adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) to the anomeric position of N-acetylhexosamine and shows similar activity towards N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and N-acetylgalactosamine (

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance of neutral and acidic glycosphingolipids
Journal of Lipid Research, 1983 A number of intact neutral glycosphingolipids (globo, asialoganglio, neolacto, and gala series), gangliosides, and sulfatide were analyzed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) using dimethyl-d6 sulfoxide as a solvent at different conditions of ...

Biosynthesis of UDP-GlcNAc, UndPP-GlcNAc and UDP-GlcNAcA involves three easily distinguished 4-epimerase enzymes, Gne, Gnu and GnaB. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We have undertaken an extensive survey of a group of epimerases originally named Gne, that were thought to be responsible for inter-conversion of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) and UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine (UDP-GalNAc).
