NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
CHST6: Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the transfer of sulfate to position 6 of non-reducing N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues of keratan. Mediates sulfation of keratan in cornea. Keratan sulfate plays a central role in maintaining corneal transparency. Acts on the non-reducing terminal GlcNAc of short and long carbohydrate substrates that have poly-N- acetyllactosamine structures. Defects in CHST6 are the cause of macular corneal dystrophy (MCD). MCD is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by corneal opacities. Onset occurs in the first decade, usually between ages 5 and 9. The disorder is progressive. Minute, gray, punctate opacities develop. Corneal sensitivity is usually reduced. Painful attacks with photophobia, foreign body sensations, and recurrent erosions occur in most patients. There are different types of MCD: MCD type I, in which there is a virtual absence of sulfated keratan sulfate (KS) in the serum and cornea, as determined by KS-specific antibodies; and MCD type II, in which the normal sulfated KS-antibody response is present in cornea and serum. MCD type I patients usually have a homozygous missense mutation, while MCD type II patients show a large deletion and replacement in the upstream region of CHST6. The only missense mutation for type II is Cys-50, which is heterozygous with a replacement in the upstream region on the other allele of CHST6. Belongs to the sulfotransferase 1 family. Gal/GlcNAc/GalNAc subfamily.

Product Notes
The CHST5 / GlcNAc6ST-3 chst5 (Catalog #AAA2546638) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Human Cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The recombinant mouse Chst5 consists 629 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 70.1 kDa. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CHST5 / GlcNAc6ST-3 chst5 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CHST5 / GlcNAc6ST-3, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
