1 Our data suggest that the activation of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway directly increased OGT levels and activity, triggering changes in glycosylation and PASMC proliferation. Hexosamines O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) transferase Homo sapiens
2 CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrate that hexosamine biosynthetic pathway flux is increased in IPAH and drives OGT-facilitated PASMC proliferation through specific proteolysis and direct activation of host cell factor-1. Hexosamines O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) transferase Homo sapiens
