High impact information on B3GNT5

  • This indicated that beta3Gn-T5 exerted activity to synthesize Lc(3)Cer and decrease LacCer, followed by conversion to nLc(4)Cer via endogenous galactosylation [1].
  • A new member of the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:beta-galactose beta1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (beta3Gn-T) family having the beta3Gn-T motifs was cloned from rat and human cDNA libraries and named beta3Gn-T5 based on its position in a phylogenetic tree [1].
  • 2) The beta3Gn-T5 transcript was presented in various tissues and cultured cells [1].
  • 3) The beta3Gn-T5 expression was up-regulated by stimulation with retinoic acid and down-regulated with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate in HL-60 cells [1].
  • Molecular cloning and characterization of UDP-GlcNAc:lactosylceramide beta 1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (beta 3Gn-T5), an essential enzyme for the expression of HNK-1 and Lewis X epitopes on glycolipids [1].
