Gene information for GAL3ST3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID89792
Official gene symbolGAL3ST3
Full namegalactose-3-O-sulfotransferase 3
Aliases,GAL3ST-3,GAL3ST2,MGC142112,MGC142114,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase protein family. The product of this gene catalyzes sulfonation by transferring a sulfate group to the 3' position of galactose in N-acetyllactosamine in both type 2 (Gal-beta-1-4GlcNAc-R) oligosaccharides and core-2-branched O-glycans, but not on type 1 or core-1-branched structures. This gene, which has also been referred to as GAL3ST2, is different from the GAL3ST2 gene located on chromosome 2 that encodes a related enzyme with distinct tissue distribution and substrate specificities, compared to galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase 3.
