GAL3ST2 — Galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase 2
GAL3ST2 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 1 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
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
