Description
Product Characteristics: UST catalyzes the transfer of sulfate to the position 2 of uronyl residues. UST has mainly activity toward iduronyl residues in dermatan sulfate, and weaker activity toward glucuronyl residues of chondroitin sulfate. It has no activity toward desulfated N-resulfated heparin.
Target Information: Uronyl 2-sulfotransferase transfers sulfate to the 2-position of uronyl residues, such as iduronyl residues in dermatan sulfate and glucuronyl residues in chondroitin sulfate (Kobayashi et al., 1999 [PubMed 10187838]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
