Abstract

Since cellular glycosylation appears to be a function of growth and differentiation, it is not surprising that in disease there are profound alterations of carbohydrate structures and the enzymes involved in their synthesis (Table 4). These complex alterations are difficult to classify, but based on many studies in this field we begin to understand emerging patterns.
