PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	sialyl motifs L, S, and VS, (L and S previously demonstrated their involvement in the binding of donor and acceptor substrates)
	region comprised between the sialyl motifs S and VS contains a stretch of four highly conserved residues, with the following consensus sequence (H/y)Y(Y/F/W/h)(E/D/q/g)
	four N-glycan attachment sites in its catalytic domain that are potentially glycosylated (N-glycosylation appears to contribute to the proper folding and trafficking of the enzyme)

conjugated

isoforms

Precursor

the soluble form derives from the transmembrane form by proteolytic processing

REGULATION

Other

regulated by all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) (RA is a significant regulator of GALM and other galactose-related genes in myeloid-monocytic cells, which could affect energy utilization and synthesis of cell-surface glycoproteins or glycolipids involved in cell motility, adhesion, and/or functional properties)

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

ST3Gal-III heterozygote mice (deficient in expression of Siglec-F ligands) also had significantly enhanced OVA(OVA allergen)-induced eosinophilic airway inflammation associated with reduced eosinophil apoptosis
