Biochem/physiol Actions

Lewis a trisaccharide is a fucosyloligosaccharide present in human milk and colostrum, which is important for the protection of infants against infection by pathogenic microorganisms. Lewis a trisaccharide is found on the surface of erythrocytes and is a tumor-related antigen. Used as analytical standard, enzyme substrate, in blood group typing, and antibody binding assays.

In plants, N-linked glycans are processed in the Golgi apparatus to complex-type N-glycans of limited size containing a beta(1,2)-xylose and/or an alpha(1,3)-fucose residue. Larger mono- and bi-antennary N-linked complex glycans have not often been described. This study has re-examined the

Sulphated blood group Lewis(a)/Lewis(x) (Le(a)/Le(x)) type sequences, with sulphate at the 3-position of galactose, have emerged as potent ligands for the endothelial adhesion molecule E-selectin and the leukocyte adhesion molecule L-selectin. As a first step in elucidating the molecular basis
