2.8.2.21 keratan sulfotransferaseIUBMB Comments
Sulfation takes place at the 6-position of galactosyl and N-acetylglucosaminyl residues in keratan, a proteoglycan. Not identical with EC 2.8.2.5 (chondroitin 4-sulfotransferase), EC 2.8.2.6 (choline sulfotransferase) or EC 2.8.2.17 (chondroitin 6-sulfotransferase).

KS6ST transfers sulfate to the C-6 of Gal of LacNAc on glycoproteins and is responsible for the generation of a Langerin ligands. Langerin plays roles in the first line defense against pathogens and in Birbeck granule formation in Langerhans cells, vLangerin is categorized as a C-type lectin. It recognizes pathogenic fungi, such as Candida sp. and Malassezia sp., expressing heavily mannosylated glycans, Langerin recognizes 6'-sulfo-LacNAc as a preferred, glycan ligand, overview
