Chondroitin Sulfate-N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1 (CSGALNACT1)
CSGalNAcT-1 plays a critical role in CS biosynthesis in cartilage. By in situ hybridization and real time reverse transcription-PCR of developing cartilage, CSGalNAcT-1 exhibited the highest level of expression. Its expression in chondrogenic ATDC5 cells correlated well with that of aggrecan core protein. In heterozygote and homozygote aggrecannull cartilage where aggrecan transcription is decreased, CSGalNAcT-1 transcription diminished accordingly. Overexpression of the enzyme in chondrocytic cells further enhanced CS biosynthesis but not that of the aggrecan core protein, indicating that the enzyme activity is not saturated in the cells and that aggrecan synthesized in the overexpressing cells is heavier than the native molecule.
