Welcome to the home for Functional Glycomics research

Welcome to the Functional Glycomics Gateway, a comprehensive and regularly updated resource for functional glycomics research.

This gateway represents a unique collaboration between the Consortium for Functional Glycomics (CFG) and Nature Publishing Group (NPG). It is designed to provide up-to-date information and resources for research aimed at elucidating the roles of glycan-protein interactions in cell surface biology.

Consortium for Functional Glycomics (CFG)

The CFG is a large research initiative composed of more than 300 Participating Investigators and seven scientific Core laboratories. Funded by NIGMS in 2001 to elucidate the roles of carbohydrate-protein interactions in cell communication at the cell surface, the CFG has made enormous progress towards its aims. The scientific Cores produce a variety of resources and services for investigators performing experiments that address the goals of the CFG. Data produced by the scientific Cores are accessible from this Gateway. Specialty databases for glycan-binding proteins, glycan structures, and glycosyltransferases are also available.
