Definition:

Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the transfer of sulfate to position 6 of internal galactose (Gal) residues of keratan. Cooperates with B4GALT4 and B3GNT7 glycosyltransferases and CHST6 sulfotransferase to construct and elongate disulfated disaccharide unit [->3(6-sulfoGalbeta)1->4(6-sulfoGlcNAcbeta)1->] within keratan sulfate polymer. Has a preference for sulfating keratan sulfate, but it also transfers sulfate to the unsulfated polymer. Involved in biosynthesis of phosphacan, a major keratan sulfate proteoglycan in the developing brain (By similarity). Involved in biosynthesis of 6-sulfoGalbeta-containing O-linked glycans in high endothelial venules of lymph nodes. May act in a synergistic manner with CHST4 to generate sialyl 6',6-disulfo Lewis X motif, a recognition determinant for immune cell receptors implicated in leukocyte trafficking. Catalyzes sulfation of N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) oligosaccharides with highest efficiency for sialylated LacNAc structures.
