Epitope information of EP0017

Epitope IDEP0017
Epitope nameCyclic Sialyl 6-Sulfo Lewis x
Structure
SequencecyclicNeu5Ac(a2-3)Gal(b1-4)[Fuc(a1-3)][HSO3(-6)]GlcNAc-R
AliasesCyclic Sialyl 6-Sulfo Lex
HistoryCyclic sialyl 6-sulfo Lex is efficiently formed by the action of the partly membranebound calcium-dependent enzyme, tentatively called "sialic acid cyclase," and a possible physiological significance of this reaction could be a rapid inactivation of selectin binding activity at the cell surface.[2]
