This enzyme facilitates the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to the terminal N-acetylglucosamine of glycoproteins and glycolipids forming a beta-13 bond. B3GALT4 has a molecular mass of approximately 42 kDa. Expression of B3GALT4 occurs in various tissues including the brain liver and kidney indicating its extensive involvement across different physiological systems.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe enzyme B3GALT4 contributes to the synthesis of glycan structures. It participates in the glycosphingolipid biosynthesis pathway where it has involvement in the addition of galactose to lactosylceramide. By doing so B3GALT4 helps in transforming lactosylceramide into more complex glycolipids which are components of cell membranes and mediate cell-cell interactions. This enzyme is not known as part of a larger complex but it acts independently within the glycosylation machinery.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nB3GALT4 functions within the glycosphingolipid metabolism and the N-glycan biosynthesis pathways. It contributes to the complexity and diversity of glycan structures that are key in these pathways. B3GALT4 interacts with other glycosyltransferases such as beta-14-galactosyltransferase in orchestrating the stepwise extension of oligosaccharide chains. Understanding these pathways offers insight into how B3GALT4 contributes to essential cellular functions like cell signaling and immune response.\u003cbr\u003e\nB3GALT4 dysregulation associates with GM1 gangliosidosis and Morquio syndrome type B. GM1 gangliosidosis results from the accumulation of GM1 gangliosides due to insufficient breakdown often influenced by abnormal glycosylation from B3GALT4 activity. This disorder connects B3GALT4 with the lysosomal enzyme beta-galactosidase which is directly involved in degrading glycolipids. In Morquio syndrome type B mutations impacting glycosylation pathways suggest an indirect link to B3GALT4's enzymatic processes ultimately contributing to skeletal abnormalities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850382266537,"sku":"ab169759","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab169759","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
