Chst8 - carbohydrate sulfotransferase 8

Predicted to enable N-acetylgalactosamine 4-O-sulfotransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in hormone biosynthetic process; proteoglycan biosynthetic process; and sulfur compound metabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in peeling skin syndrome. Orthologous to human CHST8 (carbohydrate sulfotransferase 8).
