NDST4 localizations
NDST4 [ENSP00000264363]
Bifunctional heparan sulfate N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase 4; Essential bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes both the N- deacetylation and the N-sulfation of glucosamine (GlcNAc) of the glycosaminoglycan in heparan sulfate. Modifies the GlcNAc-GlcA disaccharide repeating sugar backbone to make N-sulfated heparosan, a prerequisite substrate for later modifications in heparin biosynthesis. Has low deacetylase activity but high sulfotransferase activity (By similarity); Belongs to the sulfotransferase 1 family. NDST subfamily.
Synonyms: NDST4, NDST4p, hNDST4, Q9H3R1, Q9H3R1p ...
