Summary
B4GALT3 (beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 3, HGNC:926) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q23.3, encoding Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 3 (O60512). Responsible for the synthesis of complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides in many glycoproteins as well as the carbohydrate moieties of glycolipids.
This gene is one of seven beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase (beta4GalT) genes. They encode type II membrane-bound glycoproteins that appear to have exclusive specificity for the donor substrate UDP-galactose; all transfer galactose in a beta1,4 linkage to similar acceptor sugars: GlcNAc, Glc, and Xyl. Each beta4GalT has a distinct function in the biosynthesis of different glycoconjugates and saccharide structures. As type II membrane proteins, they have an N-terminal hydrophobic signal sequence that directs the protein to the Golgi apparatus and which then remains uncleaved to function as a transmembrane anchor. By sequence similarity, the beta4GalTs form four groups: beta4GalT1 and beta4GalT2, beta4GalT3 and beta4GalT4, beta4GalT5 and beta4GalT6, and beta4GalT7. This gene encodes an enzyme that may be mainly involved in the synthesis of the first N-acetyllactosamine unit of poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

- Data suggest that expression of B4GALT3 in placenta is up-regulated in third trimester; over-expression of B4GALT3 in cultured trophoblasts suppresses cell migration; thus, B4GALT3 appears to regulate trophoblast invasion in late stages of pregnancy. (PMID:25659296)
- our findings evidenced that B4GALT3 upregulated by miR-27a contributes to the tumorigenic activities by b1-integrin pathway and might provide potential biomarkers for cervical cancer. (PMID:26987623)
- The mutations c.1456C < T (p.L486F) in MYOC and c.322G < A (p.V108I) in B4GALT3 are likely responsible for the pathogenesis of Primary Open-angle Glaucoma in this family. (PMID:27900994)
- High-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma cells secrete exosomal miR-1247-3p that directly targets B4GALT3, leading to activation of beta1-integrin-NF-kappaappaB metastatic signaling in fibroblasts resulting in lung cancer. (PMID:29335551)
- In bladder tumor cells circUBXN7 serves as a competitive endogenous RNA of miR-1247-3p to elevate B4GALT3 expression, consequently inhibiting cell viability and invasion. (PMID:30312173)
- These findings suggest that the transcription of the b4GalT3 gene is regulated by differential DNA binding of Sp3 and Sp1 in neuroblastoma and lung cancer. The increased expression of b4GalT3 in neuroblastoma may be ascribed to the enhanced expression of Sp3, which is observed for various cancers. (PMID:30561605)
