Mucin-type O-glycans are initiated with an O-GalNAc attachment to a serine or threonine in a polypeptide. The O-GalNAc residues are subsequently extended by various glycosyltransferases resulting in different types of O-glycans. Most O-glycans contain the core 1 structure, Gal beta 1-3GalNAc. GCNT4 is a member of the glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase family and it converts the core 1 O-glycan to core 2 O-glycan, Gal beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6) GalNAc, via the addition of a GlcNAc residue. Various ligand carbohydrates can be formed from core 2 branched oligosaccharides. For example, sialyl Lex in mucin‑type glycoproteins of blood cells can be formed from core 2 branched oligosaccharides. GCNT4 does not have core 4 O-glycan or I-branching enzyme activity. GCNT4 has been shown to play a role in gastric cancers, where GCNT4 is downregulated and its overexpression prevents cancer cell growth. The activity of the recombinant human GCNT-4 was determined using a phosphatase‑coupled glycosyltransferase assay.

Recombinant Human C2GNT3/GCNT4 Protein (rp188463) - SDS-PAGE 3 μg/lane of Recombinant Human Canine CD8 Protein was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) and non-reducing (N) conditions and visualized by Coomassie® Blue staining, showing a band at 59.9 kDa under reducing conditions and 62.1&122.2 kDa under non-reducing conditions. The observation of C2GNT3/GCNT4 Protein as both dimers and monomers under non-reducing (NR) conditions suggests that a portion of the protein forms dimers. This dimerization may be mediated by (or stabilized by) disulfide bonds (Uniprot: Q9P109).
