| Accepted name: |
chondroitin 6-sulfotransferase |
| Reaction: |
3′-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + chondroitin = adenosine 3′,5′-bisphosphate + chondroitin 6′-sulfate |

| Glossary: |
3′-phosphoadenylyl sulfate = a nucleotide sulfate |
| Other name(s): |
chondroitin 6-O-sulfotransferase; 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS):chondroitin sulfate sulfotransferase; terminal 6-sulfotransferase |
| Systematic name: |
3′-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:chondroitin 6′-sulfotransferase |
| Comments: |
The sulfation is at the 6-position of N-acetylgalactosamine residues of chondroitin. Not identical with EC 2.8.2.5 chondroitin 4-sulfotransferase. |
