Gene:
carbohydrate (N-acetylglucosamine 6-O) sulfotransferase 6
Gene ID:
201614
Symbol:
CHST6
Species:
1000
Description:
Catalyzes the transfer of sulfate to position 6 of non- reducing N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues of keratan. Mediates sulfation of keratan in cornea. Keratan sulfate plays a central role in maintaining corneal transparency. Acts on the nonreducing terminal GlcNAc of short and long carbohydrate substrates that have poly-N-acetyllactosamine structures.
