-   Four glycosyltransferase genes including beta1,4GalT showed a tendency toward up-regulation in colorectal cancer tissues in comparison with noncancerous colon epithelial tissues adjacent to the carcinoma tissues. This gene was found to be markedly up-regulated in all of the poorly differentiated carcinomas [PMID: 9690558].
-   Tumor beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase IV overexpression is closely associated with colorectal cancer metastasis and poor prognosis [PMID: 16361545].
