This locus encodes a sulfotransferase protein. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the sulfation of a nonreducing N-acetylglucosamine residue, and may play a role in biosynthesis of 6-sulfosialyl Lewis X antigen. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011],caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-48 is the initiator.,function:Catalyzes the transfer of sulfate to position 6 of non-reducing N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues within keratan-like structures on N-linked glycans and within mucin-associated glycans that can ultimately serve as L-selectin ligands. L-selectin ligands are present in high endothelial cells (HEVs) and play a central role in lymphocyte homing at sites of inflammation. Participates in biosynthesis of L-selectin ligand sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X and in lymphocyte homing to Peyer patches. Has no activity toward O-linked sugars. Its substrate specificity may be influenced by its subcellular location. Sulfates GlcNAc residues at terminal, non-reducing ends of oligosaccharide chains.,induction:Up-regulated upon cytokine activation.,online information:GlycoGene database,similarity:Belongs to the sulfotransferase 1 family. Gal/GlcNAc/GalNAc subfamily.,subunit:Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Homodimerization is not essential for enzyme activity.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed. Highly expressed in bone marrow, peripheral blood leukocytes, spleen, brain, spinal cord, ovary and placenta. Expressed by high endothelial cells (HEVs) and leukocytes.,
