Glycosyltransferase POMGNT1 deficiency affects N-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion
2020-09-10
Abstract excerpt
Defects in protein O -mannosylation lead to severe congenital muscular dystrophies known as α-dystroglycanopathy. A hallmark of these diseases is the loss of the O -mannose-bound matriglycan on α-dystroglycan, which leads to a reduction in cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix. Mutations in protein O -mannose β1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 (POMGNT1), which is crucial for the elongation of O -mannos...
