UniProt functional annotation for O35310

UniProt code: O35310.

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.
 
Function: Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) to catalyze the transfer of a sulfo group to position 3 of glucosamine residues in heparan. Catalyzes the rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate (HSact). This modification is a crucial step in the biosynthesis of anticoagulant heparan sulfate as it completes the structure of the antithrombin pentasaccharide binding site. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9346953}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + alpha-D-glucosaminyl-[heparan sulfate](n) = 3-sulfo-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-[heparan sulfate](n) + adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15461, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:9830, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9831, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:58339, ChEBI:CHEBI:58343, ChEBI:CHEBI:58388, ChEBI:CHEBI:70975; EC=2.8.2.23;
Subcellular location: Golgi apparatus lumen {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: Belongs to the sulfotransferase 1 family. {ECO:0000305}.
