Background: ST6GALNAC4

ST6GALNAC4 is a type II membrane protein that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to galactose-containing substrates (1). This enzyme works on both glycoproteins and glycolipids and has strict substrate specificity, utilizing only the trisaccharide sequence Neu5Ac alpha2-3Gal beta1-3GalNAc of glycoproteins and glycolipids (2). In particular, this enzyme is involved in the synthesis of ganglioside GD1A from GM1B (3). GD1A is the target pathogenic antigen in the autoimmune disease, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (4, 5). The activity of this enzyme has been measured using a phosphatase-coupled method (6).
