Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Glycosylation Enzyme:** ST6GALNAC4 is a type II transmembrane glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the sialylation of glycoproteins, specifically N-acetylgalactosaminide to sialic acid. 2. **Substrate Specificity:** The enzyme has a high affinity for N-acetylgalactosaminide, a precursor molecule in glycosylation. 3. **Cellular Localization:** ST6GALNAC4 is primarily localized to the Golgi apparatus, where it interacts with other glycosylation enzymes to form a glycosylation complex. 4. **Regulation:** The expression and activity of ST6GALNAC4 are tightly regulated by post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation and glycosylation. **Pathways and Functions:** ST6GALNAC4 is involved in various cellular processes, including: 1. **Immune Response:** Sialylation of glycoproteins, such as IgA and complement proteins, is crucial for immune function and the elimination of pathogens. 2. **Cell Signaling:** ST6GALNAC4 regulates cell signaling pathways, including the Wnt/β-catenin and Notch signaling pathways, by modifying the sialylation of glycoproteins. 3. **Glycosylation of Proteins:** ST6GALNAC4 is essential for the sialylation of glycoproteins, which is necessary for protein stability, folding, and function. 4. **Glycolipid Biosynthesis:** The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of glycolipids, including gangliosides, which are essential for cellular recognition and signaling. **Clinical Significance:** Dysregulation of ST6GALNAC4 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Infectious Diseases:** Alterations in ST6GALNAC4 expression and function have been linked to the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, such as SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2. 2. **Cancer:** ST6GALNAC4 has been identified as a tumor suppressor gene, and its dysregulation has been associated with cancer development and progression. 3. **Neurological Disorders:** The enzyme has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In conclusion, ST6GALNAC4 is a critical enzyme involved in the regulation of glycosylation and immune response. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of this gene in maintaining cellular homeostasis and immune function. Further research is necessary to fully understand the complexities of ST6GALNAC4 and its role in human disease.
