Abstract excerpt
The EGF and TGF-beta families of cytokines are critical regulators of cell proliferation, morphogenesis, and tissue repair. The signaling pathways downstream of EGF and TGF-beta receptors also contribute to cancer growth and metastasis. Cytokine receptors are glycoproteins, and we have recently shown that GlcNAc-branching of N-glycans enhances their cell surface residency and contributes to the growth autonomy of...
