Characterization of bovine FUT7 furthers understanding of FUT7 evolution in mammals

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2012
Background The Sialyl-Lewis X (Slex) is a well-known glycan structure involved in leukocyte homing and recruitment to inflammatory sites. SLex is well conserved among species and is mainly synthesized by FucT-VII in vertebrates.

Glycans Related to the CA19-9 Antigen Are Increased in Distinct Subsets of Pancreatic Cancers and Improve Diagnostic Accuracy Over CA19-9Summary

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2016
Background & Aims: The cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is the current best biomarker for pancreatic cancer, but it is not increased in approximately 25% of pancreatic cancer patients at a cut-off value that provides a 25% false-positive rate.

A Structural-Reporter Group to Determine the Core Conformation of Sialyl Lewisx Mimetics

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
The d-GlcNAc moiety in sialyl Lewisx (sLex, 1) acts predominantly as a linker to position the d-Gal and the l-Fuc moieties in the bioactive spatial orientation.

One-pot multienzyme synthesis of Lewis x and sialyl Lewis x antigens. [PDF]

open access: yesCurr Protoc Chem Biol, 2012
AbstractL‐Fucose has been found abundantly in human milk oligosaccharides, bacterial lipopolysaccharides, glycolipids, and many N‐ and O‐linked glycans produced by mammalian cells. Fucose‐containing carbohydrates have important biological functions. Alterations in the expression of fucosylated oligosaccharides have been observed in several pathological

Human Epidermal Keratinocyte Expression of Sialyl-Lewis X

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 1992
Cell-surface oligosaccharides can function as ligands for intercellular adhesion receptors, matrix proteins, and growth factors. We report that human neonatal and adult epidermal keratinocytes (KC) express sialyl Lewis X [s-Le(x); SA alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc beta 1-3R], a ligand for endothelial and platelet selectins. Freshly isolated

Apple Pomace Pectin for Gastroprotective Nutraceutical Delivery: Structure–Function Relationships and Nano/Microencapsulation Strategies for Gastric Ulcer Management

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
Apple pomace pectin is explored as a sustainable and multifunctional biomaterial for gastric ulcer management. Its unique structural features confer mucoadhesive, anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti‐Helicobacter pylori activities while enabling nano/microencapsulation of therapeutic agents.

Sialylated Lewis x Antigen Bearing Glycoproteins in Human Plasma [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Proteome Research, 2010
Recent studies have shown that antibodies targeting Lewis x (Le(x)) antigen are a valuable tool in the isolation and identification of glycoproteins in plasma. A focus of this study was to determine whether sialylated Lewis x (sLe(x)) antigen carrying glycoproteins occur in human plasma and whether an antibody targeting this antigen could be used to ...

Diagnostic value of tumor markers in identifying favorable or unfavorable subsets in patients with cancer of unknown primary: a retrospective study

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2022
Background Routine measurement of tumor markers is not recommended in daily clinical practice for patients with cancer of unknown primary (CUP). We evaluated the diagnostic value of tumor markers in identifying favorable or unfavorable subsets in ...

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of the sialyl Lewis X glycan and its derivatives. [PDF]

open access: yesCarbohydr Res, 2010
A combination of recombinant FKP and alpha-(1-->3)-fucosyltransferase allows the facile synthesis of the sialyl Lewis X tetrasaccharide glycan and its derivatives in excellent yield. In this system, the universal fucosyl donor, guanidine 5'-diphosphate-beta-L-fucose (GDP-fucose), or its analogues can be generated in situ by cofactor recycling using ...
