The present review gives a survey on the biosynthetic pathways of nucleotide sugars which
are important for the in vitro synthesis of mammalian glycoconjugates. With respect to the …

Publisher Summary More than 50 different complete structures of glycosphingolipids (GSLs)
of the ganglio, globo, and lacto families have been determined in the last three decades …

Two glycosyltransferases were detected in a particulate preparation from 13-day-old
embryonic chicken brain. The first enzyme transferred glucose from UDP-glucose to …

Mouse B16 melanoma cell line, GM-95 (formerly designated as MEC-4), deficient in
sialyllactosylceramide was examined for its primary defect. Glycolipids from the mutant cells …

Based on the sequences of the highly conserved segments in the previously cloned
sialyltransferases, a cDNA encoding a new type of Gal beta 1, 3GalNAc alpha 2, 3 …

DNA clones encoding β‐galactoside α2, 3‐sialyltransferase have been isolated from mouse
brain cDNA libraries using sequence information obtained from the conserved amino acid …

Publisher Summary Glycosphingolipids occur in nature mainly as constituents of biological
membranes and other structural elements. They represent a class of compounds that may …

cDNA clones encoding GalNAc alpha 2, 6-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4. 99.3) have been
isolated from chick embryo cDNA libraries using sequence information obtained from the …

Normal and transformed mouse fibroblasts catalyze transfer of sialic acid, galactose, N-
acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, glucose, and mannose from nucleotide sugar …

Preparations from the brain of young rats contain enzymes that catalyze the transfer of
sulfate-35 S from 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate-35 S to galactose-containing …
