CHST10 carbohydrate sulfotransferase 10

Gene ID: 9486, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HNK1ST; HNK-1ST

Summary

This protein encoded by this gene transfers sulfate to the C-3 hydroxyl of terminal glucuronic acid of protein- and lipid-linked oligosaccharides. This protein was first identified as a sulfotransferase that acts on the human natural killer-1 (HNK-1) glycan; HNK-1 is a carbohydrate involved in neurodevelopment and synaptic plasticity.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
