GlycoErase™ ALG10 Knockout Human Malignant Melanoma Cell A375 (CAT#: GLJF-0525-JF1153)

Description	The ALG10 deficient human malignant melanoma cell line A375 constitutes an indispensable model for probing the intricacies of N-glycosylation, where the absence of ALG10 engenders a compromised N-glycan biosynthesis pathway, consequently impacting protein folding fidelity and thereby enabling the investigation of N-glycosylation anomalies in the context of melanoma cell proliferation, metastatic dissemination, and the emergence of drug resistance, while also facilitating the identification of potential diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers.

Target	ALG10
Full Name	ALG10 alpha-1,2-glucosyltransferase
Alternative Name	ALG10A, DIE2, FLJ14751
Location	12p11.1
Gene ID	84920
Summary	This gene encodes a membrane-associated protein that plays a critical role in N-linked glycosylation by adding the third glucose residue to the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor. Specifically, it transfers the terminal glucose molecule from dolichyl phosphate glucose (Dol-P-Glc) to the lipid-linked oligosaccharide Glc₂Man₉GlcNAc₂-PP-Dol. This step is essential for the proper assembly of the oligosaccharide precursor necessary for N-linked glycoprotein synthesis.
