Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables N-acetylglucosamine 6-O-sulfotransferase activity. Involved in N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process and keratan sulfate biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in several structures, including limb; pharynx; respiratory system; skeleton; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in macular corneal dystrophy. Orthologous to several human genes including CHST6 (carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6).
