GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CHSY1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CSS1, KIAA0990
Description
Chondroitin sulfate synthase 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the chondroitin N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase family. These enzymes possess dual glucuronyltransferase and galactosaminyltransferase activity and play critical roles in the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan involved in many biological processes including cell proliferation and morphogenesis. Decreased expression of this gene may play a role in colorectal cancer, and mutations in this gene are a cause of temtamy preaxial brachydactyly syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
