Rabbit anti-Human NDST1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P52848

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NDST1

Target Full Name

Bifunctional heparan sulfate N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase 1

Target Function

Essential bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes both the N-deacetylation and the N-sulfation of glucosamine (GlcNAc) of the glycosaminoglycan in heparan sulfate. Modifies the GlcNAc-GlcA disaccharide repeating sugar backbone to make N-sulfated heparosan, a prerequisite substrate for later modifications in heparin biosynthesis. Plays a role in determining the extent and pattern of sulfation of heparan sulfate. Compared to other NDST enzymes, its presence is absolutely required. Participates in biosynthesis of heparan sulfate that can ultimately serve as L-selectin ligands, thereby playing a role in inflammatory response. Required for the exosomal release of SDCBP, CD63 and syndecan.

Target Involvement

Mental retardation, autosomal recessive 46 (MRT46)

Target Subcellular Location

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

Target Protein Families

Sulfotransferase 1 family, NDST subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Expression is most abundant in heart, liver and pancreas.

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the heparan sulfate/heparin GlcNAc N-deacetylase/ N-sulfotransferase family. The encoded enzyme is a type II transmembrane protein that resides in the Golgi apparatus. The encoded protein catalyzes the transfer of sulfate from 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate to nitrogen of glucosamine in heparan sulfate. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
