Molecular requirements of imino sugars for the selective control of N-linked glycosylation and glycosphingolipid biosynthesis
N-Butyl-deoxynojirimycin (NB-DNJ) has been approved for clinical trials as a potential therapy for Gaucher disease, a glycolipid lysosomal storage disorder. As this compound has both glycoprotein processing α-glucosidase and ceramide glucosyltransferase inhibitory activity, we have sought to determi...
