FUT8 promotes breast cancer cell invasiveness by remodeling TGF-β receptor core fucosylation

Abstract Background Core fucosylation (addition of fucose in α-1,6-linkage to core N-acetylglucosamine of N-glycans) catalyzed by fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) is critical for signaling receptors involved in many physiological and pathological processes such as cell growth, adhesion, and tumor metasta...
