SULF2 - sulfatase 2 Gene
Also Known as HSULF-2
Species: Homo sapiens
About SULF2
This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 209 orthologues and 16 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in ovary (RPKM 36.9), endometrium (RPKM 36.6) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) act as coreceptors for numerous heparin-binding growth factors and cytokines and are involved in cell signaling. Heparan sulfate 6-O-endosulfatases, such as SULF2, selectively remove 6-O-sulfate groups from heparan sulfate. This activity modulates the effects of heparan sulfate by altering binding sites for signaling molecules (Dai et al., 2005 [PubMed 16192265]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
