Gene: HS6ST1
Alternate names for this Gene: HH15|HS6ST
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the heparan sulfate biosynthetic enzyme family. Heparan sulfate biosynthetic enzymes are key components in generating a myriad of distinct heparan sulfate fine structures that carry out multiple biological activities. This enzyme is a type II integral membrane protein and is responsible for 6-O-sulfation of heparan sulfate. This enzyme does not share significant sequence similarity with other known sulfotransferases. A pseudogene located on chromosome 1 has been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
Location in Chromosome : 2q14.3
Description of this Gene: heparan sulfate 6-O-sulfotransferase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
