GlycoErase™ C1GALT1 Knockout HepG2 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0425-JF1031)

Description	The C1GALT1 knockout HepG2 cell line offers a unique platform for exploring O-glycosylation (Core 1) in liver cancer and its interaction with the hepatic environment. C1GALT1 deficiency impedes Core 1 O-glycan synthesis in HepG2 cells, potentially altering the glycosylation of mucin-like proteins expressed by liver cells. Researchers can analyze the effects of altered O-glycosylation on the tumor microenvironment in the liver, metastasis within the liver, and identify O-glycosylation targets or drugs specific to liver malignancies.

Target	C1GALT1
Full Name	Core 1 synthase, glycoprotein-N-acetylgalactosamine 3-Beta-galactosyltransferase 1
Alternative Name	C1GALT, T-synthase
Location	7p22.1-p21.3
Gene ID	56913
Summary	Synthesizes core 1 O-glycan (Gal-beta-1-3GalNAc-R) via Gal transfer (UDP-Gal to GalNAc-alpha-1-R); precursor for mucin-type O-glycans (cell surface & secreted) involved in cell signaling and interactions.
