Abstract:
An isolated polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or fragment thereof, wherein the polypeptide has an enzymatic activity to transfer a sulfate group from a sulfate group donor to a hydroxyl group at position 6 of an N-acetylglucosamine residue located at a non-reducing end of an oligosaccharide represented by the formula:GlcNAc.beta.1-3Gal.beta.1-4GlcNAcwherein GlcNAc represents an N-acelylglucosamine residue, Gal represents a galactose residue, .beta.1-3 represents a .beta.1-3 glycosidic linkage, and .beta.1-4 represents a .beta.1-4 glycosidic linkage.
