GlycoErase™ GCNT1 Knockout Human Glioma Cell A172 (CAT#: GLJF-0525-JF814)

Description	The GCNT1 knockout A172 cell line, lacking glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 1 essential for core 2 O-glycan branching, enables the study of O-glycan branching disruption in glioma, potentially affecting complex O-glycan structures, cell surface properties, and related tumor cell functions, enhancing understanding of how O-glycan remodeling influences glioma progression.
