NDST2
NDST2, also known as N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase 2, is an enzyme encoded by the NDST2 gene. This gene is found in humans and other mammals. The enzyme it produces plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of heparin and heparan sulfate. These glycosaminoglycans are complex carbohydrates found on the surface of cells and in the extracellular matrix.
Heparin and heparan sulfate are involved in a wide array of biological processes. They are essential for
Mutations in the NDST2 gene have been linked to certain genetic disorders. For example, research has suggested
