| BIO5087 | Glyco-cell Differentitation | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | - | No | |
| Sialic acid is transferred from CMP-sialic acid to an acceptor glycan through the catalysis of sialyltransferase. Some of glyco-chains on cellular surface are regarded to be potential signaling molecules in cellular communications. Glyco-chains are biosynthesized through the catalysis of membrane-bound glycosyltransferases. The professpr would like to address the pathological significance of glycosyltransferase function and resulting abnormalities of glyco-chain metabolism with regard to cellular differntiation. I also hope to apply our future results for developing new diagnostic means and therapeutics of the disease to our graduate students. Lecture topics are (1) Analysis on controlling mechanisms of glyco-chains through glycosyltransferases. (2) Functions of glyco-chains in the cancer biology and immune systems | |||||||||
