Functional Descriptions hst-6

hst-6 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the heparan sulfate modifying enzyme heparan 6O-sulfotransferase; by homology, HST-6 is predicted to function in heparan sulfate biosynthesis by catalyzing the chain-modifying sulfation of the C6 hydroxyl group of the glucosamine subunits; during development, hst-6 activity is required for normal body size and nervous system development; an hst-6::gfp transcriptional reporter fusion is expressed beginning at early embryonic stages and continuing through adulthood; expression in embryos is nearly ubiquitous with later expression primarily restricted to neuronal tissues.
