Also known as GnT-IvaGnT-4a
Summary
MGAT4A (alpha-1,3-mannosyl-glycoprotein 4-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase A, HGNC:7047) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q11.2, encoding Alpha-1,3-mannosyl-glycoprotein 4-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase A (Q9UM21). Glycosyltransferase that catalyze the transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to the GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1-3 arm of the core structure of N-linked glycans through a beta1-4 linkage and participates in the production of tri- and tetra-antennary N-linked sugar chains.
This gene encodes a key glycosyltransferase that regulates the formation of tri- and multiantennary branching structures in the Golgi apparatus. The encoded protein, in addition to the related isoenzyme B, catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) from UDP-GlcNAc in a beta-1,4 linkage to the Man-alpha-1,3-Man-beta-1,4-GlcNAc arm of R-Man-alpha-1,6(GlcNAc-beta-1,2-Man-alpha-1,3)Man-beta-1,4-GlcNAc-beta-1,4-GlcNAc-beta-1-Asn. The encoded protein may play a role in regulating the availability of serum glycoproteins, oncogenesis, and differentiation.

- We investigated mRNA levels of glycosyltransferases, namely, N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase a (GnT)-IVa, and found that (GnT)-IVa expression was decreased in HLE-cells Epirubicin resistant. (PMID:17488527)
- The results of this work suggest that in T2D subjects, high levels of glucose and triglycerides are accompanied by an increase on MGAT4A mRNA levels and WBC count; condition that suggests a pro-inflammatory state due to a chronic metabolic stress. (PMID:17953760)
- GNT-IV genetic variation is not associated with gastric cancer. (PMID:19751437)
- Findings suggest that GnT-IVa is involved in regulating invasion of choriocarcinoma through modifications of the oligosaccharide chains of beta1 integrin. (PMID:23169300)
- Data suggest microRNA-424 regulates expression of MGAT4A (mannoside beta-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase A), OGT (O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase), and GALNT13 (polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13) in mammary epithelium. (PMID:26589799)
- GnT-IVa may contribute to the malignancy of choriocarcinoma by promoting cell adhesion, migration and invasion through glycosylation of integrin beta1 and LAMP-2. (PMID:28534963)

Function. Glycosyltransferase that catalyze the transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to the GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1-3 arm of the core structure of N-linked glycans through a beta1-4 linkage and participates in the production of tri- and tetra-antennary N-linked sugar chains. Involved in glucose transport by mediating SLC2A2/GLUT2 glycosylation, thereby controlling cell-surface expression of SLC2A2 in pancreatic beta cells.
Subcellular location. Golgi apparatus membrane Secreted.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, small intestine, peripheral blood leukocytes and lymph node. Strongly overexpressed in choriocarcinoma cancer cell lines. Down-regulated in pancreatic cancer.
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated.
Activity regulation. Inhibited by UDP.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein glycosylation.
Similarity. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 54 family.
