Hexosamine biosynthesis in keratinocytes: roles of GFAT and GNPDA enzymes in the maintenance of UDP-GlcNAc content and hyaluronan synthesis.

abstract：:Galectin-3 is a galactose-binding lectin that has been found in several mammalian tissues. Galectin-3 gene is expressed in a wide range of normal and tumoral cells. In the case of myeloid cells, its expression correlates with the differentiation of monocytes to macrophages. In the case of cancer cell lines, its expres...
