Gene name Galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase 2
Gene symbol GAL3ST2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GAL3ST-2GP3ST
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2q37.3
Summary This gene encodes a member of the galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase protein family. The product of this gene catalyzes sulfonation by transferring a sulfate group to the hydroxyl at C-3 of nonreducing beta-galactosyl residues, and it can act on both type 1 a

Protein name Galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase 2 (Gal3ST-2) (EC 2.8.2.-) (Beta-galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase 2) (Gal-beta-1, 3-GalNAc 3'-sulfotransferase 2) (Glycoprotein beta-Gal 3'-sulfotransferase 2)
Protein function Transfers a sulfate group to the hydroxyl group at C3 of non-reducing beta-galactosyl residues. Acts both on type 1 (Gal-beta-1,3-GlcNAc) and type 2 (Gal-beta-1,4-GlcNAc) chains with similar efficiency.
