Protein O-Glucosyltransferase 1 Expression Influences Formation of Differentiated Myotubes in C2C12 Cell Line.

The protein O-glucosyltransferase 1 (Poglut1) links O-glucose to epidermal growth factor-like repeats harboring the CXSX(P/A)C consensus sequence. Poglut1 is a ubiquitous endoplasmic reticulum-resident protein largely found in metazoans, but only about 50 proteins possess this consensus sequence. Among them, Notch receptors have multiple O-glucosylation sites and their activation depends on this status.
