Name: Lewis x epitope biosynthetic process
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: sLeX biosynthetic process, sialyl-Lewis X biosynthetic process

Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a Lewis x epitope, a trisaccharide (beta-D-galactosyl-(1,4)-[alpha-L-fucosyl-(1,3)]-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine) expressed on several glycolipids, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans of the nervous system. The related Lewis x epitope is formed by alpha(1,3) fucosylation of the N-acetylglucosaminyl residue of a type 2 histo-blood group antigen precursor disaccharide. Source: PMID:23000574, PMID:16973732
