Sulf1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase activity; arylsulfatase activity; and glycosaminoglycan binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway; regulation of signal transduction; and skeletal system development. Located in cell surface. Orthologous to human SULF1 (sulfatase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

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 rat Sulf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
