Supplementary information

B3GNT5 also known as UDP-GlcNAc:betaGal beta-13-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 5 functions primarily as a glycosyltransferase enzyme. It has a molecular mass of approximately 42 kDa. B3GNT5 is expressed in various tissues including the brain and muscle and is critical for synthesizing poly-N-acetyllactosamine which is important for cellular communication and adhesion processes.
Biological function summary

The B3GNT5 enzyme facilitates the addition of N-acetylglucosamine in a beta-13 linkage to galactose residues on glycoconjugates. It contributes significantly to glycan biosynthesis and may participate in forming part of glycoprotein and glycolipid complexes. These glycoconjugates impact cell signaling migration and cell-cell interactions. The precise formation of glycoconjugates supports critical cellular functions influencing processes like immune response and cellular differentiation.

Pathways

B3GNT5 plays a role in the complex glycosylation pathway. This pathway involves the assembly and modification of glycan structures essential for protein stability and function. B3GNT5 interacts with other enzymes such as B3GNT2 impacting the regulation of glycan chains. The pathway affects key processes like the production of selectin ligands which are vital for leukocyte trafficking and inflammatory responses.

Abnormalities in B3GNT5 expression or function can link to cancer progression and congenital disorders of glycosylation. Changes in its activity influence the expression and remodeling of glycans potentially affecting tumor cell interaction and metastasis. In some congenital glycosylation disorders defective glycan synthesis might relate to developmental issues where B3GNT5 and its glycan partner proteins play a role in ensuring proper cellular development and function.

Target data

Beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase that plays a key role in the synthesis of lacto- or neolacto-series carbohydrate chains on glycolipids, notably by participating in biosynthesis of HNK-1 and Lewis X carbohydrate structures. Has strong activity toward lactosylceramide (LacCer) and neolactotetraosylceramide (nLc(4)Cer; paragloboside), resulting in the synthesis of Lc(3)Cer and neolactopentaosylceramide (nLc(5)Cer), respectively. Probably plays a central role in regulating neolacto-series glycolipid synthesis during embryonic development.
