Abstract: Glycobiology is a new branch of science that combined of carbohydrate chemistry and glycobiology. It mainly includes the structure, biosynthesis and biological function of chains of glycoconjugates. Glycosyltransferase is one of the main contents. The basic expression of glycosyltransferase in the development of tumorigenesis plays an important role in the development of tumorigenesis and has become a significant biomarker for interventional therapy. Bladder cancer is the most common urinary system carcinoma with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, the relationship between glycosyltransferase expression and bladder cancer is reviewed.

Key words: glycosyltransferase, bladder cancer, tumorigenesis, glycobiology
