NDST3 [ENSP00000296499]
Bifunctional heparan sulfate N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase 3; 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 high deacetylase activity but low sulfotransferase activity.
Synonyms: NDST3, NDST3p, hNDST3, O95803, O95803p ...
