Majority of cancer tissues displayed moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear staining. Additional membranous staining was observed in colorectal cancers. Several cases of cholangiocarcinomas, colorectal, thyroid and ovarian cancers were strongly positive.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
GAL3ST4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLJ12116
Description
Galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase protein family. The product of this gene catalyzes sulfonation by transferring a sulfate to the C-3' position of galactose residues in O-linked glycoproteins. This enzyme is highly specific for core 1 structures, with asialofetuin, Gal-beta-1,3-GalNAc and Gal-beta-1,3 (GlcNAc-beta-1,6)GalNAc being good substrates. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
