Full name | | carbohydrate (N-acetylgalactosamine 4-0) sulfotransferase 9 |
Aliases | | ,FLJ42328,GALNAC4ST-2, |
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 CHST9, carry out sulfation of carbohydrates (Hiraoka et al., 2001 [PubMed 11445554]).[supplied by OMIM] |
