Abstract excerpt
The human LARGE gene encodes a protein with two putative glycosyltransferase domains and is required for the generation of functional alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG). Monoclonal antibodies IIH6 and VIA4-1 recognize the functional glycan epitopes of alpha-DG that are necessary for binding to laminin and other ligands. Overexpression of full-length mouse Large generated functionally glycosylated alpha-DG in Pro(-5)...
