Abstract excerpt
The role of UDP-galactose transporter (UGT; SLC35A2) and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transporter (NGT; SLC35A3) in glycosylation of macromolecules may be coupled and either of the transporters may partially replace the function played by its partner. The aim of this study was to construct chimeric transporters composed of the N-terminal portion of human NGT and the C-terminal portion of human UGT1 or UGT2 (NGT-UGT1...
