Term: sialyl Lewis X

Definition: A sialylated version of Lewis X antigen expressed on cell surfaces with structure Alpha-Neup5Ac-(2->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1->4)-[alpha-L-Fucp-(1->3)]-beta-D-GlcpNAc is alpha-Neup5Ac-(2->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1->4)-[alpha-L-Fucp-(1->3)]-D-GlcpNAc in which the anomeric configuration of the reducing-end N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine residue is beta. It is a ligand for selectins. [MESH:2030970,CHEBI:71622,RN]

Term reference: GTC:G00054MO GlycoEpitope:EP0012 CID:44456859 CHEBI:71622 MESH:2030970GlycoMotif:GM.G00054MO

Synonyms: Slex| SLex| SLe^x

Function: Sialyl Lex was shown to be a specific ligand on human leukocytes for vascular E- and P-selectins,and was shown to mediate leukocyte recruitment.[GlycoEpitope:EP0012]|The determinant is also frequently expressed on human cancer cells,and is involved in the adhesion of cancer cells to vascular endothelium and thus contribute to hematogenous metastasis of cancer.[GlycoEpitope:EP0012]

Disease associations: colon cancer[GlycoEpitope:EP0012]|colorectal cancer[GlycoEpitope:EP0012]

Publication(s): Exact-Match

Term in sentence: As sialyl Lewis X is a lignad of the selectin family, it has been proposed that sialyl Lewis X-rich colon cancer cells metastasize to the liver by adhesion to selectins on hepatic endothelial cells.[PMID:12828079]

Term reference: CHEBI:59520

Synonyms: N/A

Function: N-glycans modulate the function of several cell surface proteins which involved in migration, adhesion and which are responsible for regulating myelination.[PMID: 25151374]. Affect transportation of the glycosylated proteins in the Golgi. [PMID: 25151374]|Affects cell-cell interaction, adhesion, expression, proper folding.
