Recombinant Human Heparan sulfate 2-O-sulfotransferase 1 (HS2ST1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q7LGA3

Target Species

Human

Target Name

HS2ST1

Target Full Name

Heparan sulfate 2-O-sulfotransferase 1

Target Function

Catalyzes the transfer of sulfate to the C2-position of selected hexuronic acid residues within the maturing heparan sulfate (HS). 2-O-sulfation within HS, particularly of iduronate residues, is essential for HS to participate in a variety of high-affinity ligand-binding interactions and signaling processes. Mediates 2-O-sulfation of both L-iduronyl and D-glucuronyl residues.

Target Subcellular Location

Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Sulfotransferase 3 family

Target Synonyms

2-O-sulfotransferase; 2OST; dJ604K5.2; FLJ11317; heparan sulfate 2 O sulfotransferase 1; Heparan sulfate 2-O-sulfotransferase 1; HS2ST_HUMAN; hs2st1; KIAA0448; MGC131986

Target Background

Heparan sulfate biosynthetic enzymes are key components in generating a myriad of distinct heparan sulfate fine structures that carry out multiple biologic activities. This gene encodes a member of the heparan sulfate biosynthetic enzyme family that transfers sulfate to the 2 position of the iduronic acid residue of heparan sulfate. The disruption of this gene resulted in no kidney formation in knockout embryonic mice, indicating that the absence of this enzyme may interfere with the signaling required for kidney formation. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been found for this gene.
