General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | overexpression of GnT-III downregulates alpha5beta1 integrin-mediated cell spreading and migration, and the phosphorylation of the focal adhesion kinase. Overexpression of GnT-III slows E-cadherin turnover, resulting in increased E-cadherin expression on the surface of B16 melanoma cells. GnT-III inhibits GnT-V-induced cell migration. Overexpression of GnT-III inhibits cancer metastasis by at least two mechanisms: an enhancement in cell-cell adhesion and a downregulation of cell-ECM adhesion | Homo sapiens |
