Entrez ID 64377
Gene name Carbohydrate sulfotransferase 8
Gene symbol CHST8
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GALNAC4ST1GalNAc4STPSS3
Chromosome 19
Chromosome location 19q13.11
Summary The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the sulfotransferase 2 family. It is predominantly expressed in the pituitary gland, and is localized to the golgi membrane. This protein catalyzes the transfer of sulfate to position 4 of non-reducing N-acetylg

Protein name Carbohydrate sulfotransferase 8 (EC 2.8.2.-) (GalNAc-4-O-sulfotransferase 1) (GalNAc-4-ST1) (GalNAc4ST-1) (N-acetylgalactosamine-4-O-sulfotransferase 1)
Protein function Catalyzes the transfer of sulfate to position 4 of non-reducing N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues in both N-glycans and O-glycans. Required for biosynthesis of glycoprotein hormones lutropin and thyrotropin, by mediating sulfation of their
