About CHST9

Cytogenetic location: 18q11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 18:26,906,481-27,185,308 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 128 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Biased expression in spleen (RPKM 1.3), testis (RPKM 1.2) and 13 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the sulfotransferase 2 family. It is localized to the golgi membrane, and catalyzes the transfer of sulfate to position 4 of non-reducing N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues in both N-glycans and O-glycans. Sulfate groups on carbohydrates confer highly specific functions to glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans, and are critical for cell-cell interaction, signal transduction, and embryonic development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
