Correlation between plasma carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and sialyltransferase as tumor marker. 1984

C Dwivedi, and M Dixit, and R E Hardy

Plasma carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and sialyltransferase levels were assayed in 21 cancer patients to correlate them in response to therapy. Plasma sialyltransferase and CEA level correlated well in 10 colon, 4 breast and 1 lung cancer patients in response to therapy. There was a negative correlation in one colon cancer, 3 breast cancer and 2 lung cancer patients. Plasma sialyltransferase was a better marker for breast and lung cancer. CEA was a good marker for colon cancer.

D012799	Sialyltransferases	A group of enzymes with the general activity CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:acceptor N-acetylneuraminyl transferase. They catalyze the transfer of N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID from CMP-N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID to an acceptor, which is usually the terminal sugar residue of an oligosaccharide, a glycoprotein, or a glycolipid.

D014166	Transferases	Transferases are enzymes transferring a group, for example, the methyl group or a glycosyl group, from one compound (generally regarded as donor) to another compound (generally regarded as acceptor). The classification is based on the scheme "donor:acceptor group transferase". (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.	Transferase
