Chst5

Enables N-acetylglucosamine 6-O-sulfotransferase activity. Involved in N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process; keratan sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process; and sulfur compound metabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in several structures, including limb; pharynx; respiratory system; skeleton; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in macular corneal dystrophy. Orthologous to several human genes including CHST6 (carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6).

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Chst5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
