Frontiers | Into the Labyrinth of the Lipocalin α1-Acid Glycoprotein

α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), also known as Orosomucoid (ORM), belongs to the Lipocalin protein family and it is well-known for being a positive acute-phase pr...

Fucoidan as a renal protectant: mechanistic insights and therapeutic implications of endothelial glycocalyx targeting - PubMed

The progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is closely associated with damage to the endothelial glycocalyx (eGC) of the renal microvasculature. The eGC, particularly its heparan sulfate (HS) components, is crucial for maintaining the charge-selective barrier and microenvironmental homeostasis. …

Xylosyltransferase engineering to manipulate proteoglycans in mammalian cells - Nature Chemical Biology

The xylosyltransferase isoenzymes XT1 and XT2 catalyze the first glycosylation step in the biosynthesis of proteoglycans. Now, bump-and-hole engineering of XT1 and XT2 enables substrate profiling and modification of proteins as designer proteoglycans to modulate cellular behavior.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis and Purification of Bioorthogonally Tagged UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-GalNAc Analogues - PubMed

Nucleotide-sugar donors containing bioorthogonal moieties are important tools to study cellular glycosylation. Typically, the acetamide moiety in N-acetylhexosamines such as GlcNAc and GalNAc is replaced by an acylamide with a clickable tag and converted to the corresponding uridine diphosphate anal …
