Abstract excerpt
N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GlcNAc-TIII) is encoded by the Mgat3 gene and catalyzes the addition of the bisecting GlcNAc to the core of N-glycans. Mice lacking GlcNAc-TIII due to the insertion mutation Mgat3tmlPst (termed Mgat3neo), exhibit retarded progression of liver tumors induced by diethylnitrosamine (DEN; M. Bhaumik et al, Cancer Res., 58: 2881-2887, 1998). This phenotype seemed to be due to a...
