Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide sugar transporters deliver substrates for glycosyltransferases into the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. We demonstrated that overexpression of UDP-GlcNAc transporter (NGT) in MDCK-RCA(r) and CHO-Lec8 mutant cells defective in UDP-Gal transporter (UGT) restored galactosylation of N-glycans. NGT overexpression resulted in decreased transport of UDP-GlcNAc into the Golgi vesicles. This...
