The role of the blood group-related glycosyltransferases FUT2 and B4GALNT2 in susceptibility to infectious disease
The glycosylation profile of the gastrointestinal tract is an important factor mediating host-microbe interactions. Variation in these glycan structures is often mediated by blood group-related glycosyltransferases, and can lead to wide-ranging differences in susceptibility to both infectious- as we...
