Glycosyltransferases are enzymes that facilitate the transfer of sugar molecules from activated donor substrates to specific acceptor molecules. This process is crucial for the synthesis of complex carbohydrates, which play vital roles in various biological functions, including cell signaling and structural integrity. These enzymes are involved in the formation of glycosidic bonds, linking sugars to proteins, lipids, or other carbohydrates. Glycosyltransferases are essential in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and polysaccharides, contributing to processes such as cell recognition and immune response.
