CHSY1
Description
The CHSY1 (chondroitin sulfate synthase 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 15.
Chondroitin sulfate synthase 1 (CHSY1) is an enzyme encoded by the CHSY1 gene in humans. It synthesizes chondroitin sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan present on the surface of most cells and in extracellular matrices. Glycosaminoglycan chains are covalently linked to various core protein families and regulate numerous biological processes, including cell proliferation and recognition, extracellular matrix deposition, and morphogenesis.
CHSY1 is also known as CHSY, CSS1, ChSy-1, TPBS.
