A Human STX cDNA Confers Polysialic Acid Expression in Mammalian Cells
1 Sept 1995
Abstract excerpt
Polysialic acid, or PSA, is a term used to refer to linear homopolymers of alpha(2,8)-sialic acid residues displayed at the surface of some mammalian cells. PSA is typically linked to the neural cell adhesion molecule N-CAM, where it can modulate the homotypic adhesive properties of this polypeptide. PSA expression is developmentally regulated, presumably through mechanisms involving regulated expression of...
