Sialylation of N-linked glycans mediates apical delivery of endolyn in MDCK cells via a galectin-9–dependent mechanism

The sialomucin endolyn is implicated in adhesion, migration, and differentiation of various cell types. Apical delivery of endolyn requires recognition of sialic acids on its N-glycans possibly (or likely) mediated by galectin-9.
