1 Recombinant C4ST-1 showed a substrate preference for chondroitin and catalysed the 4-O-sulfation of GalNAc residues, a highly frequent modification of CS in the embryos of zebrafish as well as other vertebrates. Chondroitin Sulfates carbohydrate (chondroitin 4) sulfotransferase 11 Danio rerio
2 Functional knockdown of C4ST-1 with specific antisense morpholino-oligonucleotides led to a marked decrease in the 4-O-sulfation and amount of CS in the embryos. Chondroitin Sulfates carbohydrate (chondroitin 4) sulfotransferase 11 Danio rerio
3 These results suggest that 4-O-sulfated CS formed by C4ST-1 is essential for somitic muscle differentiation and motor axon guidance in zebrafish development. Chondroitin Sulfates carbohydrate (chondroitin 4) sulfotransferase 11 Danio rerio
