A multitude of glycosyltransferases (GTs), glycoside hydrolases (GHs), other enzymes, and nucleotide sugar transporters are required to synthesize and metabolize glycans. Also, many genes encode glycan-binding proteins (GBPs), which recognize specific glycan structures. This chapter provides a genomic perspective of the genes that code for GTs, GHs, and GBPs.
