Description

The DSE (dermatan sulfate epimerase) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 6.

DSE is a human gene that encodes for an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of dermatan sulfate.

DSE catalyzes the conversion of D-glucuronic acid to L-iduronic acid (IdoUA) residues. This process is crucial for the biosynthesis of dermatan sulfate, a type of glycosaminoglycan/mucopolysaccharide.

DSE is also known as DS-epi1, DSEP, DSEPI, EDSMC2, SART-2, SART2.
