CHST4

protein-coding

carbohydrate sulfotransferase 4, the group of Sulfotransferases, membrane bound

Gene summary

This gene encodes an N-acetylglucosamine 6-O sulfotransferase. The encoded enzyme transfers sulfate from 3'phosphoadenosine 5'phospho-sulfate to the 6-hydroxyl group of N-acetylglucosamine on glycoproteins. This protein is localized to the Golgi and is involved in the modification of glycan structures on ligands of the lymphocyte homing receptor L-selectin. Alternate splicing in the 5' UTR results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_001166395.2. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the transfer of sulfate to position 6 of non-reducing N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues within mucin-associated glycans that ultimately serve as SELL ligands. SELL ligands are present in high endothelial cells (HEVs) and play a central role in lymphocyte homing at sites of inflammation. Participates in biosynthesis of the SELL ligand sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X on receptors SPN/CD43, GLYCAM1 and MADCAM1. Also involved in biosynthesis of SELL ligand recognized by MECA-79 antibody. Plays a central role in lymphocyte trafficking during chronic inflammation. Has a catalytic preference for core 2- branched mucin-type O-glycans. Can use GlcNAcbeta1-6[Galbeta1- 3]GalNAc-pNP (core 2), GlcNAcbeta1-6ManOMe and GlcNAcbeta1-2Man oligosaccharide structures as acceptors. Has also activity toward core 3 of GlcNAcbeta1-3GalNAc-pNP. Its substrate specificity may be influenced by its subcellular location. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10330415}.;
