Anti-CHST3 Antibody

Carbohydrate sulfotransferase 3;2.8.2.17; Chondroitin 6-O-sulfotransferase 1; C6ST-1; Chondroitin 6-sulfotransferase; Galactose/N-acetylglucosamine/N-acetylglucosamine 6-O-sulfotransferase 0; GST-0; CHST3;

Widely expressed in adult tissues. Expressed in heart, placenta, skeletal muscle and pancreas. Also expressed in various immune tissues such as spleen, lymph node, thymus and appendix.

Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the transfer of sulfate to position 6 of the N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residue of chondroitin. Chondroitin sulfate constitutes the predominant proteoglycan present in cartilage and is distributed on the surfaces of many cells and extracellular matrices. Can also sulfate Gal residues of keratan sulfate, another glycosaminoglycan, and the Gal residues in sialyl N- acetyllactosamine (sialyl LacNAc) oligosaccharides. May play a role in the maintenance of naive T-lymphocytes in the spleen.
