GlycoErase™ ALG9 Knockout Human Malignant Melanoma Cell A375 (CAT#: GLJF-0525-JF1158)

Description	The ALG9 deficient A375 cell line represents a valuable resource for evaluating defects in lipid-linked oligosaccharide assembly in the context of malignant melanoma, where the absence of ALG9 disrupts the N-glycosylation process, thereby enabling the investigation of the intricate links between N-glycosylation abnormalities and melanoma development, disease progression, metastatic dissemination, and the exploration of therapeutic avenues targeting ALG9 function.
