HS3ST2 heparan sulfate-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferase 2

Gene ID: 9956, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: 30ST2; 3OST2

Summary

Heparan sulfate biosynthetic enzymes are key components in generating a myriad of distinct heparan sulfate fine structures that carry out multiple biologic activities. The enzyme encoded by this gene is a member of the heparan sulfate biosynthetic enzyme family. It is a type II integral membrane protein and possesses heparan sulfate glucosaminyl 3-O-sulfotransferase activity. This gene is expressed predominantly in brain and may play a role in the nervous system. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
