This O-GlcNAcylation is catalyzed by the EGF-domain specific O-GlcNAc transferase (EOGT), which is localized in the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum. In humans, EOGT is one of the causative genes of a congenital disease, Adams–Oliver syndrome. EOGT is highly expressed in endothelial cells and regulates vascular development and integrity by potentiating Delta-like ligand-mediated Notch signaling. In Drosophila, Eogt modifies Dumpy, an apical extracellular matrix glycoprotein, and affects Dumpy-dependent cell-matrix interaction. In this review, we summarize the current findings of the structure and functions of extracellular O-GlcNAc in animals.}, pages = {72--77}, title = {Structure and function of extracellular O-GlcNAc}, volume = {56}, year = {2019} }
