Background: ST3GAL4

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). ST3GAL4 is an alpha2,3-sialyltransferase and forms alpha2-3 linked sialic acid on the Gal residue of the terminal Gal beta1-4GlcNAc and Gal beta1-3GalNAc structures found on glycoproteins and glycolipids (2, 3). ST3GAL4 is involved in the synthesis of sialyl Lewis x (sLex) glycan epitope that may serve as ligands for E- and P-selectins on activated endothelial cells in inflammatory responses (4). Down-regulation of ST3GAL4 mRNA may be one of the factors associated with the malignant progression of human renal cell carcinoma (5). ST3GAL4 is expressed as a type II membrane protein localized in the trans-Golgi apparatus but may also be proteolytically processed to form a soluble form. The activity of the recombinant human ST3GAL4 was determined using a phosphatase‑coupled glycosyltransferase assay (6).
