The product of this gene catalyzes sulfonation by transferring a sulfate group to the hydroxyl at C-3 of nonreducing beta-galactosyl residues, and it can act on both type 1 and type 2 (Galbeta 1-3/1-4GlcNAc-R) oligosaccharides with similar efficiencies, and on core 1 glycans. This enzyme has been implicated in tumor metastasis processes. This gene is different from the GAL3ST3 gene located on chromosome 11, which has also been referred to as GAL3ST2 and encodes a related enzyme with distinct tissue distribution and substrate specificities, compared to galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Transfers a sulfate group to the hydroxyl group at C3 of non-reducing beta-galactosyl residues. Acts both on type 1 (Gal- beta-1,3-GlcNAc) and type 2 (Gal-beta-1,4-GlcNAc) chains with similar efficiency. |Gal-3-0 sulfotr| |galactosylceramide sulfotransferase activity| |sulfotransferase activity| |glycolipid biosynthetic process| |Golgi cisterna membrane| |glycolipid metabolic process| |liposaccharide metabolic process| |membrane lipid biosynthetic process| |membrane lipid metabolic process| |lipid biosynthetic process| |carbohydrate derivative biosynthetic process| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |carbohydrate derivative metabolic process| |lipid metabolic process| |membrane| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp155|UNC1999 2μM R03 exp155]]|-1.81| |[[:results:exp374|Latrunculin-B 10μM R07 exp374]]|1.82| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
