GlycoErase™ GNE Knockout HepG2 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0425-JF1075)

Description	GNE knockout HepG2 cell line lacks GNE protein, glucosamine (UDP-N-acetyl)-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase, rate-limiting in sialic acid biosynthesis in liver cells. GNE knockout in HepG2 cells enables study of sialic acid biosynthesis disruption in liver cancer, potentially affecting sialylation of glycans on hepatocytes, cell signaling pathways relevant to liver cancer, immune evasion within the liver, and sialic acid dependent liver tumor properties.
