Full name: carbohydrate sulfotransferase 3

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: C6ST; C6ST1; HSD

Summary: This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the sulfation of chondroitin, a proteoglycan found in the extracellular matrix and most cells which is involved in cell migration and differentiation. Mutations in this gene are associated with spondylepiphyseal dysplasia and humerospinal dysostosis. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
