GLYCO-GENE CHIP





Glyco-gene chip description: A custom-designed Glyco-gene Chip array that contains probe sets to monitor the expression of approximately 2000 human and mouse transcripts relevant to the Consortium for Functional Glycomics has been developed using Affymetrix technology. The array is updated periodically, incorporating the latest glycobiology annotation and up-to-date microarray technology. The most recent array is the GLYCOv4, manufactured by Affymetrix in June 2008.

Genes for the following classes of proteins are represented on the GLYCOv2 and GLYCOv3 and GLYCOv4 Gene Chip:
  • Glycosyltransferases
  • Glycan-binding proteins (GBPs), including C-type lectins, galectins and siglecs
  • Glycan degradation proteins
  • Intercellular protein transport proteins
  • Notch pathway proteins
  • Nucleotide sugar synthesis and transporter proteins
  • N-glycan biosynthesis-related proteins
  • Adhesion molecules
  • Interluekins and receptors
  • Mucins
  • Growth factors and receptors
  • Cytokines
  • Chemokines
  • Conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex proteins
  • Other miscellaneous proteins of interest
