isoform beta4GalT5 works predominantly in mouse embryonic fibroblasts
-
from normal and familial hypercholesterolemic homozygotes. Urinary proximal tubular cells from familial hypercholesterolemic homozygous patients contain glucosylceramide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity 35% higher as compared to control cells
additional information
male mice show much higher activity of LacCer synthesis than female mice in the kidney. Expression levels of the B4galt5 gene correlate with the LacCer synthase activity in the kidney
-
expression levels of B4galt6 gene is almost equivalent between male and female mice
additional information
expression levels of B4galt6 gene is almost equivalent between male and female mice
