gene: hst-6 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable heparan sulfate 6-O-sulfotransferase activity. Involved in heparan sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process, enzymatic modification and regulation of growth. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in AIBL; AIBR; RIML; RIMR; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Paganini-Miozzo syndrome and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 15 with or without anosmia. Is an ortholog of human HS6ST1 (heparan sulfate 6-O-sulfotransferase 1).
