Early GalNAc O-Glycosylation: Pushing the Tumor Boundaries

Early GalNAc O-Glycosylation: Pushing the Tumor Boundaries
Stefan Mereiter, Joana Gomes, Celso A. Reis, Ana Magalhães

Glycosylation alterations are frequently observed in cancer cells and shape tumor progression. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Nguyen et al. show that GALNT1 relocation from Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum drives liver tumor growth and invasion, due to enhanced glycosylation and consequential activation of the extracellular matrix-degrading metalloproteinase MMP14.
