When the expression profile of glycogenes was compared between PHH and HCC cells, MGAT4A, HS3ST5, B4GALNT3, B4GALNT4, and GYLTL1B (LARGE2) were found to be higher in HCC while CHST2, CHST4, B3GALT4, GBGT1, B3GAT1, and GALNTL4 were higher in PHH cells. This evidence concerns the gene B3GAT1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
