title: Notch signaling: Fringe really is a glycosyltransferase.
abstract: Fringe modifies the ligand-selectivity of Notch in ways that are crucial for a number of Notch's developmental functions. Recent results have confirmed the suspicion that Fringe is a glycosyltransferase that works in the Golgi complex by modifying Notch's glycosylation state.
