“Furthermore, MPA can also induce apoptosis of immune cells and is known to inhibit synthesis of fucose- and mannose-containing membrane glycoproteins altering the surface expression and binding ability of adhesion molecules.”
“ MPA also depletes pools of GTP in human lymphocytes and monocytes, thereby inhibiting the synthesis of fucose- and mannose-containing saccharide components of membrane glycoproteins.”
“ MPA preferentially inhibits the type II isoform of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, depletes GTP, suppresses transfer of mannose and fucose to glycoproteins, and prevents lymphocyte proliferation in vivo.”
