What is GlycoGene DataBase (GGDB)?

Glycogenes include glycosyltransferases, sugar-nucleotide synthases, sugar-nucleotide transporters, sulfotransferases, and other genes related to glycosylation. Currently, approximately 200 or more human glycogenes have been identified, cloned, and characterized. The GlycoGene Database (GGDB) is the first database to collect data on these glycogenes and to store information on substrate specificity. GGDB provides necessary information for the analysis of glycogenes.
