Figure 3. Modes of action of glycan remodeling enzymes.

Figure 3

Cell surface hydrolytic enzymes can act on glycans positioned on the same cell (autocrine signaling), adjacent cells (juxtacrine signaling) or soluble glycoproteins (shown in green). Secreted enzymes can act on glycans positioned on distant cells (paracrine signaling) or soluble glycoproteins.
