At the cell surface, these modifications have roles in cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions, bacterial adhesion, and protein targeting (Samyn-Petit et al., 2000 [PubMed 10742600]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008] Expression Broad expression in testis (RPKM 18.1), skin (RPKM 16.6) and 18 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
