Gene: NDST1
Alternate names for this Gene: HSST|MRT46|NST1
Gene Summary: 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 5
Location in Chromosome : 5q33.1
Description of this Gene: N-deacetylase and N-sulfotransferase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
