Abstract excerpt
N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GlcNAc-TIII), the product of the Mgat3 gene, transfers the bisecting GlcNAc to the core mannose of complex N-glycans. The addition of this residue is regulated during development and has functional consequences for receptor signaling, cell adhesion, and tumor progression. Mice homozygous for a null mutation at the Mgat3 locus (Mgat3(Delta)) or for a targeted mutation in the...
