| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Previously we have established a novel method for visualization of glycoforms of specific glycoforms of a protein of interest. This research proposal aimed to clarify the molecular mechanism of fucose-dependent polarized transport of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in hepatocytes by utilizing the new technique we developed. While we could successfully establish the expression system of AFP in hepatocyte-derived HepG2 cells, we had difficulty to find a conditions to allow cells to incorporate azide-modified fucose in cells. In the future, we need to establish (1) more efficienct transfection method for AFP and (2) improvement of incorporation efficiency for azide-fucose into HepG2 cells to establish the assay method for polarized transport of AFP.
