Full name: carbohydrate (chondroitin 6) sulfotransferase 3a

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: PROVISIONAL

Also known as: si:ch211-232k3.6

Summary: Predicted to enable N-acetylglucosamine 6-O-sulfotransferase activity and chondroitin 6-sulfotransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process and chondroitin sulfate biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within carbohydrate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in head; pectoral fin; pharyngeal arch cartilage; and somite. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteochondrodysplasia and spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia with congenital joint dislocations. Orthologous to human CHST3 (carbohydrate sulfotransferase 3).
