CHST6 - carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6 Gene
Also Known as MCDC1; gn6st-5; hCGn6ST; GST4-beta; C-GlcNAc6ST; glcNAc6ST-5
Species: Homo sapiens
About CHST6
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 79 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 2.4), adrenal (RPKM 0.7) and 12 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a sulfate group to the GlcNAc residues of keratan. Keratan sulfate helps maintain corneal transparency. Defects in this gene are a cause of macular corneal dystrophy (MCD). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
