Gene information for HS6ST2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID90161
Official gene symbolHS6ST2
Full nameheparan sulfate 6-O-sulfotransferase 2
Aliases,MGC130022,MGC130023,
Gene summaryHeparan sulfate proteoglycans are ubiquitous components of the cell surface, extracellular matrix, and basement membranes, and interact with various ligands to influence cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, and migration. This gene encodes a member of the heparan sulfate (HS) sulfotransferase gene family, which catalyze the transfer of sulfate to HS. Different family members and isoforms are thought to synthesize heparan sulfates with tissue-specific structures and functions. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
