Intestinal epithelial <i>Casd1</i> influences mucus sialic acid <i>O-</i> acetylation and tissue damage susceptibility toward large-intestinal mucosal insults
2026-02-09
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The intestinal mucus network, primarily composed of O -glycosylated MUC2 mucin polymers, is essential for protecting the gastrointestinal tract from microbial threats. Sialic acid (Sia), a terminal monosaccharide on complex O -glycans, plays a key role in maintaining mucus integrity and is frequently modified by Casd1-dependent O -acetylation ( O Ac). Despite its prevalence, the biological s...
