CHST6 carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: CHST6provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:6938
See related: Ensembl:ENSG00000183196 MIM:605294; AllianceGenome:HGNC:6938
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: MCDC1; gn6st-5; hCGn6ST; GST4-beta; C-GlcNAc6ST; glcNAc6ST-5
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a sulfate group to the GlcNAc residues of keratan. Keratan sulfate helps maintain corneal transparency. Defects in this gene are a cause of macular corneal dystrophy (MCD). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
