Gene information for CHST9 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID83539
Official gene symbolCHST9
Full namecarbohydrate (N-acetylgalactosamine 4-0) sulfotransferase 9
Aliases,FLJ42328,GALNAC4ST-2,
Gene summarySulfate 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 CHST9, carry out sulfation of carbohydrates (Hiraoka et al., 2001 [PubMed 11445554]).[supplied by OMIM]
