The tissue distribution of NDST1 and NDST2 broadly overlap [50], and transcripts for both were detected in all samples analyzed in this study, with NDST2 appearing downregulated in all LSCRCs, while NDST1 transcription was downregulated in all metastatic tumors and in 60% of non-metastatic. Here, NDST2 is linked to metastatic neoplasm.
