Type: | Family | Name: | Heparan sulphate 6-sulfotransferase/Protein-tyrosine sulfotransferase |
Description: | This family consists of several heparan sulphate 6-sulphotransferase (HS6ST) proteins. Heparan sulphate 6-O-sulphotransferase (HS6ST) catalyses the transfer of sulphate from adenosine 3'-phosphate, 5'-phosphosulphate to the 6th position of the N-sulphoglucosamine residue in heparan sulphate []. This entry also includes protein-tyrosine sulfotransferase, which catalyses the O-sulfation of tyrosine residues within acidic motifs of polypeptides []. | Short Name: | Heparan_SO4-6-sulfoTrfase |
