From: Glycogene expression profiles based on microarray data from cervical carcinoma HeLa cells with partially silenced E6 and E7 HPV oncogenes

Gene/enzyme

Enzyme function

Gene alteration in cancer and oncogenic- associated-effects

PIGV

Phosphatidylinositol Glycan Anchor Biosynthesis Class V

Transfers the second mannose in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor

Not reported

GALNT1

Polypeptide N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1

Transfers N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to a serine or threonine residue O-glycosylation

mRNA upregulated in bladder cancer stem cells [57]

C1GALT1C1

C1GALT1 Specific Chaperone 1

Specific chaperone assisting the folding/stability of C1GALT1, for the generation of core 1 O-glycan T antigen

mRNA and protein upregulated in colorectal cancer [27]

FCMD

Fukutin

Glycosyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of α-dystroglycan (α-DG)

Not reported

MANBAL

Mannosidase, beta A, lysosomal-like

Mannosidase beta-like

Not reported

B4GALT2

Beta-1,4-Galactosyltransferase 2

Transfers galactose to the terminal N-acetylglucosamine of complex-type N-glycans

Missense mutations in B4GALT2 gene in colon cancer with a predictive deleterious phenotype [58]

UGT8

Ceramide UDP-Galactosyltransferase

Catalyzes the transfer of galactose to ceramide (biosynthesis of GalCer)

mRNA and protein upregulated in breast [28] and increased protein expression in lung cancer [59]
