Enzymes involved in Leukocyte Adhesion and Transmigration.
| Enzyme type | Enzyme Function | Effect on Leukocyte adhesion and transmigration | References | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| N-acetylglucosaminyl-transferase | GNT-V | Addition of GlcNAc to OH-group of α-linked mannose | IFNγ-mediated decrease of GNT-V caused decrease of β-1,6-linked GalNAc on integrins, resulting in IFNγ-mediated adhesion of monocytes | Yang et al., 2012 |
| Mannosidase | Remove mannose from glycan | TNFα treatment of EC downregulates mannosidase in turn resulting in high-mannose N-glycans on EC High-mannose ICAM-1 selectively recruits non-classical (CD16+) monocytes Oscillatory shear stress increases mannose on EC |

| Sialyltransferase | St6Gal1 | Addition of α-2,6-linked sialic acid to terminal N-glycans | Needed for PECAM-1 presentation on EC surface | Kitazume et al., 2010 |
