{"symbol":"HS3ST4","synonyms":["3-OST-4","H3-OST-4","30ST4","3OST4"],"name":"heparan sulfate (glucosamine) 3-O-sulfotransferase 4","description":"This gene encodes the enzyme heparan sulfate D-glucosaminyl 3-O-sulfotransferase 4. This enzyme generates 3-O-sulfated glucosaminyl residues in heparan sulfate. Cell surface heparan sulfate is used as a receptor by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), and expression of this gene is thought to play a role in HSV-1 pathogenesis.
