Schematic biosynthesis of the HBGA ABH and Lewis. Several transferase enzymes (boxed) are involved in the addition of relevant monosaccharides (in bold) to synthesise the ABH and Lewis ligands in a variety of tissues. Gal, Galactose; Glc, Glucose; GalNAc, N-Acetylgalactosamine; GlcNAc, N-Acetylglucosamine; Fuc, Fucose.
