physiological function
physiological function
-
elevated glucosylceramide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity may contribute to the storage of lactosylceramide urinary proximal tubular cells from familial hypercholesterolemic patients
physiological function
-
B4galt6 KO mice are born and grow up apparently normal. LacCer synthase activity and the composition of acidic glycosphingolipids in the brain are almost equivalent or minimally different between wild-type and KO mice. B4GalT6 does not act as a major beta4GalT on the modification of glycoproteins
physiological function
-
the amounts of Lac-Cer and ganglioside GM3 are significantly less in a stable clone E5 whose beta4GalT5 gene expression level is reduced to 35% than in a control clone C1 by transfection of its antisense cDNA. The average tumor size and average number of colonies formed with clone E5 are decreased to 44 and 49%, respectively, of those formed with clone C1. The numbers and sizes of colonies formed in the soft agarose gels, and the volumes of tumors formed in athymic mice with fibroblasts from wild type, heterozygous and homozygous beta4GalT5-knockout mouse embryos upon transformation with the polyoma virus oncogene correlate with the beta4GalT5 gene dosage

isoform beta4GalT5 works predominantly in mouse embryonic fibroblasts
-
from normal and familial hypercholesterolemic homozygotes. Urinary proximal tubular cells from familial hypercholesterolemic homozygous patients contain glucosylceramide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity 35% higher as compared to control cells
additional information
-
expression levels of B4galt6 gene is almost equivalent between male and female mice
-
male mice show much higher activity of LacCer synthesis than female mice in the kidney. Expression levels of the B4galt5 gene correlate with the LacCer synthase activity in the kidney
