  • is associated with those signalling pathways that are inhibited by full length SULF1/SULF2 variants and therefore could promote growth in lung tumours
  • associate with activated EGF and HGF receptors leading to increases in the downstream signalling mediated through phosphoERK1/2 activity

    basic FUNCTION
  • exhibiting arylsulfatase activity and highly specific endoglucosamine-6-sulfatase activity
  • having the potential to modify the sulfation status of extracellular heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) glycosaminoglycan chains and thereby to regulate interactions with HSPG-binding proteins (Morimoto-Tomita 2005)
  • removes 6-O-sulfate groups on glucosamine from subregions of intact heparin (Uchimura 2006)
  • tool for deciphering the sulfation requirements in the interaction of protein ligands with heparin/HSPGs and expand the range of potential biological activities of this enzyme (Uchimura 2006)
  • extracellular sulfatase acting on internal glucosamine 6-O-sulfate modifications within heparan sulfate proteoglycans and regulating their interactions with various signaling molecules, including Wnt ligands (Tang 2009)
  • essential transcription factor for beta-type globin gene switching, that specifically activates transcription of the adult beta-globin gene promoter (Perrine 2009)
  • recruited to the gamma-globin gene promoter as a co-activator and is required for gamma-globin gene induction by short-chain fatty acid derivatives (Perrine 2009)
