Abstract
Chondrotin 6-sulfotransferase (C6ST), for transferring sulfate group to the hydroxyl group at C-6 position of N-acetylgalactosamine residue or galactose residue of glycosaminoglycan, was purified from a culture liquid of chick embryo chondrocytes to determine its partial amino acid sequences. Partial cDNA of C6ST was amplified from poly(A).sub.+ prepared from the chondrocytes, by means of PCR by using oligonucleotide primers prepared on the basis of the determined sequences. Entire length cDNA of C6ST was obtained from a cDNA library by means of hybridization by using an obtained cDNA fragment as a probe.
