Background: ST3GAL3

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). ST3GAL3 is an alpha2,3-sialyltransferase and forms alpha2-3 linked sialic acid on the Gal residue of the terminal Gal beta1-4GlcNAc, Gal beta1-3GlcNAc and Gal beta1-3GalNAc structures found on glycoproteins and glycolipids (2). ST3GAL3 is involved in the synthesis of both sialyl Lewis x (sLex), and sialyl Lewis a (sLea) epitopes that can serve as the ligands for E- and P-selectins on activated endothelial cells in inflammation (3). The glycan epitopes formed by ST3GAL3 are a prerequisite for attaining and/or maintaining higher cognitive functions (4) and mutations in this gene have been associated with a form of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic cognitive disability as well as infantile epileptic encephalopathy (5). The enzyme is expressed as a type II membrane protein localized in the trans-Golgi apparatus but can also be proteolytically processed to form a soluble form (6). The activity of the recombinant human ST3GAL3 was determined using a phosphatase‑coupled glycosyltransferase assay (7).
