ST6GAL1 sialyltransferase promotes acinar to ductal metaplasia and pancreatic cancer progression
2022-04-28
Abstract excerpt
The role of aberrant glycosylation in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains an under-investigated area of research. In this study, we determined that the ST6GAL1 sialyltransferase, which adds α2,6-linked sialic acids to N -glycosylated proteins, is upregulated in patients with early-stage PDAC, and further increased in advanced disease. A tumor-promoting function for ST6GAL1 was elucidated using tumor x...
