Comment typeDescription
Catalytic Activity3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + chondroitin = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + chondroitin 4'-sulfate.
FunctionCatalyzes the transfer of sulfate to position 4 of the N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residue of chondroitin and desulfated dermatan sulfate. Chondroitin sulfate constitutes the predominant proteoglycan present in cartilage and is distributed on the surfaces of many cells and extracellular matrices. Activity toward partially desulfated dermatan sulfate is however lower. Does not form 4, 6-di-O-sulfated GalNAc when chondroitin sulfate C is used as an acceptor (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
SimilarityBelongs to the sulfotransferase 2 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationGolgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
