Schematic representation of the biosynthesis of N-glycans involved in the fine-tuning of the immune response to inflammation. The schematic includes the major N-glycan structures found on the surface of endothelium, immune cells, and secreted molecules, along with the relevant glycosyltransferases, whose expression has been shown to be modulated by inflammatory cytokines, dramatically affecting glycan-dependent interactions important for leukocyte immune regulation. B4GALT1, Beta-1,4-Galactosyltransferase 1; FUT, Fucosyltransferase; GCNT2, Glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) Transferase 2; MGAT, N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase; ST6GAL4, Beta-Galactoside Alpha-2,3-Sialyltransferase 4; ST6GAL1, Beta-Galactoside Alpha-2,6-Sialyltransferase 1.
