Background: ST3 beta-Gal alpha-2,3-Sialyltransferase 1/ST3GAL1

Sialyltransferases add sialic acid to glycoproteins or glycosphingolipids and play important roles in many biological processes including immune recognition, pathogen infection, and cell adhesion (1). ST3GAL1 is a type II membrane protein localized in the trans‑Golgi network that transfers sialic acid to galactose residues of core 1 O‑glycans (3Gal beta1‑3GalNAc) to produce sialyl‑T antigen (NeuAc alpha2‑3Gal beta1‑3GalNAc) (2, 3). ST3GAL1 is ubiquitously expressed in most tissues, with highest expression in the placenta, liver and skeletal muscle (4). Over‑expression of ST3GAL1 may be involved in the tumorigenesis of both breast cancer (5, 6) and bladder cancer (7). The enzyme activity of the recombinant human ST3GAL1 was determined using a phosphatase‑coupled glycosyltransferase assay (8).
