Interaction Information:

Comment Loss of LAPTM4A decreased endogenous globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) synthase activity (A4GalT) in a post-transcriptional mechanism, resulting in accumulation of its precursor lactosylceramide. Gb3 is the Shiga toxin (STx) receptor. STx is produced by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli and Shigella dysenteriae.

Comment Loss of TM9SF2 genes reduced globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) biosynthesis, resulting in accumulation of its precursor lactosylceramide. Loss of TM9SF2 did not affect Gb3 synthase activity but instead disrupted localization of Gb3 synthase.
