Recombinant Human Carbohydrate sulfotransferase 10 (CHST10), Truncated

Uniprot Id

O43529

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CHST10

Target Full Name

Carbohydrate sulfotransferase 10

Target Function

Catalyzes the transfer of sulfate to position 3 of terminal glucuronic acid of both protein- and lipid-linked oligosaccharides. Participates in biosynthesis of HNK-1 carbohydrate structure, a sulfated glucuronyl-lactosaminyl residue carried by many neural recognition molecules, which is involved in cell interactions during ontogenetic development and in synaptic plasticity in the adult. May be indirectly involved in synapse plasticity of the hippocampus, via its role in HNK-1 biosynthesis.

Target Subcellular Location

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

Target Protein Families

Sulfotransferase 2 family

Target Tissue Specificity

In fetal tissues, it is predominantly expressed in brain, and weakly expressed in lung, kidney and liver. In adult, it is highly expressed in brain, testis, ovary, expressed at intermediate level in heart, pancreas, skeletal muscle, spleen and thymus, and

Target Synonyms

CHST10; Carbohydrate sulfotransferase 10; HNK-1 sulfotransferase; HNK-1ST; HNK1ST; HuHNK-1ST

Target Background

This protein encoded by this gene transfers sulfate to the C-3 hydroxyl of terminal glucuronic acid of protein- and lipid-linked oligosaccharides. This protein was first identified as a sulfotransferase that acts on the human natural killer-1 (HNK-1) glycan; HNK-1 is a carbohydrate involved in neurodevelopment and synaptic plasticity.
