Glycerol phosphate serves as a terminator of glycan elongation in cancer malignancy
Dystroglycans on epithelial cell surfaces interact with the extracellular matrix via long sugar chains (called matriglycans), and they are responsible for cell adhesion. Abnormalities in the formation of matriglycans can impair cell adhesion and caus.....»»
