CHST2 - carbohydrate sulfotransferase 2 Gene
Also Known as C6ST; GST2; GST-2; Gn6ST-1; HEL-S-75; glcNAc6ST-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About CHST2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 213 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Broad expression in spleen (RPKM 8.2), placenta (RPKM 6.8) and 22 other tissues.
Summary
This locus encodes a sulfotransferase protein. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the sulfation of a nonreducing N-acetylglucosamine residue, and may play a role in biosynthesis of 6-sulfosialyl Lewis X antigen. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
