We show that the murine GlcNAcT-IVa glycosyltransferase is required for Glut-2 residency on the β cell surface by constructing a cell-type- and glycoprotein-specific N-glycan ligand for pancreatic lectin receptors.

Additionally, a total of 150 cytochrome P450 (CYP450) and 235 glycosyltransferase unique sequences were found in the 454 cDNA library, some of which encode enzymes responsible for the conversion of the ginsenoside backbone into the various ginsenosides.

Possibilities include not only differences in the intrinsic affinity of Notch1 for various ligands, but also variation in ligand expression level, differential modulation of ligand affinity by glycosyltransferase modification of Notch1, variable ligand-mediated cis-inhibition in Notch-expressing cells, etc.
