Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 83398 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase activity and [heparan sulfate]-glucosamine N-sulfotransferase activity. Involved in heparan sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including future brain; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and retina. Orthologous to human NDST3 (N-deacetylase and N-sulfotransferase 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knockout allele exhibit decreased anxiety-related behavior, cholesterol levels and CD8+ T cells due to moderate heparan-sulfate undersulfation.
