GlycoErase™ GCNT1 Knockout HepG2 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0425-JF1070)

Description	GCNT1 knockout HepG2 cell line lacks GCNT1 protein, glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 1, essential for core 2 O-glycan branching. GCNT1 knockout in HepG2 cells enables investigation of O-glycan branching disruption in liver cancer, potentially affecting complex O-glycan structures on hepatocytes, cell surface properties and related liver tumor cell functions.
