Background: Beta-1,3-N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase 6/B3GNT6

beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 6 (B3GNT6) is also known as core 3 synthase due to its role in synthesis of the core 3 structure (GlcNAc beta1‑3Gal‑NAc alpha1‑serine/threonine), an important precursor in the biosynthesis of mucin-type glycoproteins in digestive organs (1). Its expression is restricted to the stomach, colon and small intestine, where the core 3 structure is present. Down-regulation of the enzyme was found in gastric and colorectal carcinomas and it was suggested that it may be useful as a marker to distinguish between benign adenomas and premalignant lesions (2, 3). Prostate cancer cells transfected with core 3 synthase exhibited reduced migration and invasion compared with mock-transfected cells (4). When inoculated into nude mice, the transfected cells produced smaller tumors without metastasis in contrast to the robust tumor formation and metastasis observed in mock-transfected cells (4). Like other members of the beta‑1,3‑N‑acetylglucosaminyltransferase family, B3GNT6 is a Golgi-resident single-pass type II membrane protein.The activity of this enzyme has been measured with a phosphatase-coupled method (5).
