Other Information

**Key Characteristics** The ST3GAL3 gene encodes a type II transmembrane glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid residues to the terminal galactose of glycoproteins and glycolipids. This enzyme is involved in the synthesis of various sialylated molecules, including Lewis blood group antigens, gangliosides, and keratan sulfate. The ST3GAL3 enzyme is also involved in the regulation of cell adhesion, cell signaling, and immune responses. **Pathways and Functions** The ST3GAL3 gene is involved in several cellular pathways, including: 1. **Asparagine N-linked Glycosylation**: ST3GAL3 is required for the synthesis of N-linked glycoproteins, which play crucial roles in protein folding, stability, and function. 2. **Beta-galactoside (cmp) alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase activity**: ST3GAL3 catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid residues to the terminal galactose of glycoproteins and glycolipids. 3. **Biosynthesis of the n-glycan precursor (dolichol lipid-linked oligosaccharide, llo)**: ST3GAL3 is involved in the synthesis of the llo precursor, which is then modified and attached to a nascent protein. 4. **Glycosaminoglycan metabolism**: ST3GAL3 is involved in the synthesis of keratan sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan that plays roles in cell adhesion and signaling. 5. **Glycosphingolipid biosynthesis**: ST3GAL3 is involved in the synthesis of gangliosides, which play crucial roles in cell-to-cell communication and immune responses. **Clinical Significance** Mutations in the ST3GAL3 gene have been linked to several neurological and metabolic disorders, including: 1. **MCT12**: a rare genetic disorder characterized by developmental delays, intellectual disability, and seizures. 2. **EIEE15**: a rare genetic disorder characterized by developmental delays, intellectual disability, and epilepsy. 3. **Glycosylation disorders**: ST3GAL3 mutations can lead to glycosylation disorders, which affect the synthesis of sialylated glycoproteins and glycolipids. 4. **Neurological disorders**: ST3GAL3 mutations have been linked to various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. In summary, the ST3GAL3 gene plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of sialylated glycoproteins and glycolipids, which are involved in various cellular processes. Mutations in this gene can lead to neurological and metabolic disorders, highlighting the importance of this gene in human health and disease.
