Cloning and expression of a human gene encoding an N-acetylgalactosamine- 2,6-sialyltransferase (ST6GalNAc I): a candidate for synthesis of cancer-associated sialyl-Tn antigens

1 Nov 1999

Abstract excerpt

The sialyl-Tn (sTn) antigen is a well known cancer-associated antigen, the expression of which is related to the prognosis of cancer patients. We aimed to isolate a human gene encoding an N -acetylgalactosamine alpha2,6-sialyltransferase which synthesizes sTn antigen, and to characterize the enzyme. Degenerate primers encoding sialyl motifs were used for the polymerase chain reaction to amplify complementary DNAs...
