Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 23908 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables heparan sulfate 2-O-sulfotransferase activity. Involved in heparan sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including heparan sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process, polysaccharide chain biosynthetic process; heparin metabolic process; and ureteric bud formation. Is active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in brain and future brain. Orthologous to human HS2ST1 (heparan sulfate 2-O-sulfotransferase 1). PHENOTYPE: A mutation in this gene causes bilateral renal agenesis, bone defects, eye development abnormalities and cataracts in homozygous mice. [provided by MGI curators] |
