Biochem/physiol Actions

β-1,4-Galactosyl Transferase catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to the terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues on elongating oligosaccharide chains. It is also considered to be a biosynthetic enzyme of the Golgi apparatus. β-1,4-Galactosyl Transferase can also be found on the cell surface functioning as a cell-adhesion molecule during various cellular interactions by binding to N-acetylglucosamine containing oligosaccharide substrates or ligands in the extracellular matrix.

Other Notes

1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which transfers 1 μmol galactose from UDP-galactose to N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine per minute at pH 7.4 and 37°C in the presence of α-Lactalbumin
contains 50% glycerol, 50 mM Tris-HCl-buffer, pH 7.5, 2 mM 2-Mercaptoethanol

Recombinant glycosyltransferases are potential biocatalysts for the construction of a compound library of oligosaccharides, glycosphingolipids, glycopeptides, and various artificial glycoconjugates on the basis of combined chemical and enzymatic synthetic procedures. The structurally defined glycan-related compound library is a key resource

In human and rodents, sperm-zona pellucida binding is mediated by a sperm surface Galactosyltransferase that recognizes N-Acetylglucosamine residues on a glycoprotein ZPC. In large domestic mammals, the role of these molecules remains unclear: in bovine, they are involved in sperm-zona

We examined whether decreasing jejunal sucrase/isomaltase (S/I) activity ratio by feeding rats a high fat/carbohydrate ratio diet is regulated by changing glycosylated chains on the S-I complex. Jejunal activities of sucrase, isomaltase and beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase were examined in rats fed a

An efficient synthesis of sialyllactosamine (SiaLacNAc) clusters using carbosilanes as core scaffolds has been accomplished by means of chemical and enzymatic approaches. N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) clusters having O-glycosidic linkage or S-glycosidic linkage were chemically synthesized from known intermediates in high yields.
