Ust Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate binding activity; chondroitin 2-sulfotransferase activity; and dermatan 2-sulfotransferase activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within establishment of cell polarity and regulation of axonogenesis. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Orthologous to human UST (uronyl 2-sulfotransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Ust often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
