GlycoEnzDB: A database of enzymes involved in human glycosylation.

ABSTRACT: The glycan distribution on cells is governed by the stochastic activity of different families of enzymes that are together called 'glycoEnzymes'. These include ~400 gene products or 2% of the proteome, that have recently been curated in an ontology called GlycoEnzOnto. With the goal of making this ontology more accessible to the larger biomedical and biotechnology community, we organized a web resource called GlycoEnzDB, presenting this enzyme classification both in terms of enzyme function and the pathways that they participate in. This information is linked to i) Figures from the " Essentials of Glycobiology" textbook, ii) General gene, enzyme and pathway data appearing in external databases, iii) Manual and generative-artificial intelligence (AI) based text describing the function and p
