Chst4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable N-acetylglucosamine 6-O-sulfotransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process; positive regulation of leukocyte tethering or rolling; and sulfur compound metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within leukocyte tethering or rolling and protein sulfation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Predicted to be active in trans-Golgi network. Orthologous to human CHST4 (carbohydrate sulfotransferase 4). [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 Chst4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
