Product Description
1,3Nacetylglucosaminyltransferase 6 (3GnT6) transfers N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) from UDP-GlcNAc to N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc). 3GnT6 is also known as the core 3 synthase, because it creates the core 3 oligosaccharide structure in the mucin-type O-glycan, GlcNAc13GalNAc1serine/threonine. Core 3 synthase is a type II transmembrane protein, and is localized to stomach, small intestine and colonic tissues. It has long been known that synthesis of the core 3 structure is down-regulated in colonic cancer cells and it has been shown that the expression of 3GnT6 is also down-regulated. Colonic cancer cells transfected with 3GnT6 have reduced metastatic potential compared to non-transfected cells, and when injected into mice show decreased tumor formation. Pancreatic cancer cells transfected with 3GnT6 show a similar phenotype, which has been attributed to the addition of core3 O-glycans to 21 integrin.
