The carbohydrates of glycoconjugates are highly diverse
structures with variation in monosaccharide composition, glycosidic
linkage positions, and branching of chains. Further diversity is
added by the covalent addition of sulfate moieties to particular
hydroxyl groups and amino groups of saccharides. The sulfate
modifications of glycoproteins can be extensive in amount and
frequently occur at high density. They can have a profound effect
on the physiochemical properties of the glycoconjugates, at least
in part through the addition of negative charge. Carbohydrate
sulfation plays a critical role in many biologic processes. CHST5
belongs to the GST family of sulfotransferases, which also includes
CHST1 (MIM 603797), CHST2 (MIM 603798), CHST3 (MIM 603799), and
LSST. These enzymes are 6-O-sulfotransferases, which add sulfate to
C6 of galactose (Gal), N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), or
N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) (Lee et al., 1999 [PubMed
10491328]).1) Liu, C.Y., et al. Carcinogenesis 31(7):1259-1263(2010)
