Official gene symbol | | CHST8 |
Full name | | carbohydrate (N-acetylgalactosamine 4-0) sulfotransferase 8 |
Aliases | | ,GALNAC4ST1,GalNAc4ST, |
Gene summary | | Sulfate groups in carbohydrates confer highly specific functions on glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans and are critical for cell-cell interaction, signal transduction, and embryonic development. Sulfotransferases, such as CHST8, carry out sulfation of carbohydrates (Hiraoka et al., 2001 [PubMed 11445554]).[supplied by OMIM] |
