Biosynthetic Mechanisms and Biological Significance of Glycerol Phosphate-Containing Glycan in Mammals

Bacteria contain glycerol phosphate (GroP)-containing glycans, which are important constituents of cell-surface glycopolymers such as the teichoic acids of Gram-positive bacterial cell walls. These glycopolymers comprising GroP play crucial roles in bacterial physiology and virulence. Recently, the...
