Summary: There are believed to be over 100 different glycosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of protein-bound and lipid-bound oligosaccharides. The enzyme encoded by this gene transfers a GlcNAc residue to the beta-linked mannose of the trimannosyl core of N-linked oligosaccharides and produces a bisecting GlcNAc. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Study found that N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GnT-III) is expressed in trophoblasts during normal human pregnancy and is involved in regulating trophoblast function.

The expression of GnT-III in placenta suggests a role for GnT-III in the regulation of tropho- blast behavior. And decreased expression of GnT-III is associated with oxidative stress in preeclamptic pla- centas and, thus, may be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

Results strongly indicate that the MGAT3 and BACH2 genes play an important role in IBD pathogenesis and suggest a possible disease pathway mediated by the pro-inflammatory properties of IgG antibodies acquired by alterations in Fc glycosylation.

Data suggest that GNT-III expression regulates levels/activation of the heavily glycosylated Notch receptor involved in normal and malignant cell development; suppression of GNT-III in epithelial ovarian carcinoma cell lines results in down-regulation of Notch signaling that is more potent than pharmacologic blockage of Notch activation.

High expression of alpha2,6-sialylation on the cell surface could affect the anti-migratory role of GnT-III, which provides an insight into the mechanistic roles of GnT-III in tumor metastasis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
