-   The injection of cortisone into suckling rats resulted in precocious induction of distal 4 beta-GT activities by 2.7-fold. This result suggest that intestinal galactosyltransferase activities are under developmental regulation and can be modified by cortisone [PMID: 2497785].
-   The promoter activity of the beta4GalT4 gene is associated with the region between nucleotides -122 and -55 relative to the transcriptional start site, which contained one Specificity protein 1 (Sp1)-binding site [PMID: 28228616]. Sp1 plays a key role in the activation of the beta4GalT4 gene in colon cancer cells [PMID: 28228616].
