GlycoErase™ POFUT2 Knockout IST-Mes1 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0425-JF840)

Description	The POFUT2 knockout IST-Mes1 cell line lacks POFUT2 protein, protein O-fucosyltransferase 2, involved in O-fucosylation of cysteine knot motifs. POFUT2 knockout in IST-Mes1 cells allows investigation of cysteine knot O-fucosylation disruption in Pleural Mesothelioma, potentially affecting growth factor signaling pathways and cysteine knot motif protein functions in tumors.
