CHST7 carbohydrate sulfotransferase 7

Gene ID: 56548, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GST-5; C6ST-2

Summary

This gene is a member of the Gal/GalNAc/GlcNAc (galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine/N-acetylglucosamine) 6-O-sulfotransferase (GST) family. Members of this family encode enzymes that catalyze the specific addition of sulfate groups to distinct hydroxyl and amino groups of carbohydrates. The encoded protein catalyzes the sulfation of 6-hydroxyl group of GalNAc in chondroitin. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
