Gene:
carbohydrate (chondroitin) synthase 1
Gene ID:
209355
Symbol:
CHSY1
Species:
1000
Description:
CHSY1 synthesizes chondroitin sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan expressed on the surface of most cells and in extracellular matrices. Glycosaminoglycan chains are covalently linked to a wide range of core protein families and regulate many biologic processes, including cell proliferation and recognition, extracellular matrix deposition, and morphogenesis.[supplied by OMIM]
