A Database System for Glycogenes (GGDB)

  • Chapter
Experimental Glycoscience

Abstract

Glycogenes include genes of glycosyltransferase, sugar-nucleotide synthase, sugar-nucleotide transporter, sulfotransferase, etc. A total of 184 glycogenes are known to exist, and the authors collected the data of human glycogenes including the newly found ones in the “Construction of Glycogene Library” project (April 2001–March 2004) (Narimatsu 2004). There has been no database which comprehensively stores the information on human glycogenes. At present, over 184 genes of human glycosyltransferases and sulfotransferases are identified, cloned and expressed in various expression systems to analyze the activity for carbohydrate synthesis and its biological function. Therefore, in order to enable one-stop search of information necessary for the analysis of glycogenes, we constructed GlycoGene Database (GGDB) (Kwon 2004) which comprehensively includes all information of glycogenes obtained to date, and equips functions for analysis of homology and other purposes.
