GlycoErase™ ALG5 Knockout Human Bladder Cancer Cell 5637 (CAT#: GLJF-0525-JF4)

Description	The 5637 cell line with a disrupted ALG5 gene represents a significant tool for dissecting early glucosylation events, as its lack impacts N-glycosylation and protein conformation, thus empowering researchers to analyze the effects of N-glycosylation defects on bladder cancer cell viability, dissemination, interactions with the surrounding tissue, and the screening of agents capable of modulating N-glycosylation processes.
