Gene: HS3ST1

Alternate names for this Gene: 3OST|3OST1

Gene Summary: Heparan sulfate biosynthetic enzymes are key components in generating a myriad of distinct heparan sulfate fine structures that carry out multiple biologic activities. The enzyme encoded by this gene is a member of the heparan sulfate biosynthetic enzyme family. It possesses both heparan sulfate glucosaminyl 3-O-sulfotransferase activity, anticoagulant heparan sulfate conversion activity, and is a rate limiting enzyme for synthesis of anticoagulant heparan. This enzyme is an intraluminal Golgi resident protein.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 4

Location in Chromosome : 4p15.33

Description of this Gene: heparan sulfate-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferase 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
