    Abstract

    Integrated Systems-Analysis of the Murine and Human Pancreatic Cancer Glycomes Reveal a Tumor Promoting Role for ST6GAL1

    Researchers observed both common and distinct patterns of glycosylation in pancreatic cancer across species. Common alterations included increased levels of α-2,3- and α-2,6-sialic acids, bisecting GlcNAc and poly-LacNAc.
