In enzymology a chondroitin 4-sulfotransferase (EC 2.8.2.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate + chondroitin adenosine 3’5′-bisphosphate + chondroitin 4′-sulfateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 3′-phosphoadenylyl sulfate and chondroitin whereas its two products are adenosine 3’5′-bisphosphate and chondroitin 4′-sulfate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases to be specific the sulfotransferases which transfer sulfur-containing groups.
