Uniprot Function Description
Sulfotransferase involved in SELL/L-selectin ligand biosynthesis pathway. Catalyzes the transfer of the sulfate group from 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) onto the hydroxyl group at C-6 position of the non-reducing N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residue within O-linked mucin-type glycans. Contributes to generate sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X determinant (also known as MECA-79 epitope) for SELL recognition, a prerequisite for continuous lymphocyte homing into peripheral lymph nodes and antigen immune surveillance (PubMed:11439191, PubMed:12107080, PubMed:10330415, PubMed:11726653). Transfers the sulfate group primarily on core 2 GlcNAcbeta1-6(Galbeta1-3)GalNAcalphaSer/Thr and extended core 1 GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-3GalNAcalphaSer/Thr based O-linked glycans on CD34 and GLYCAM1 peripheral node addressins (PNAds) expressed on the lumenal side of high endothelial venules (HEVs) (PubMed:11439191). The recognition of PNAds by SELL initiates a multistep process comprising tethering and rolling of blood lymphocytes on HEVs against the blood flow, followed by chemokine signaling, integrin-mediated lymphocyte adhesion onto endothelial cells and lymphocyte transendothelial migration. Modulates rolling velocity and differential T and B lymphocyte recruitment into peripheral lymph nodes, with a major role in B lymphocyte homing. Might be redundant in sulfation of MADCAM1 and lymphocyte trafficking to mesenteric lymph nodes (By similarity). Can also sulfonate core 3 GlcNAcbeta1-3GalNAc-R based glycans as well as GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-Glc, GlcNAcbeta1-6ManOMe and GlcNAcbeta1-2Man oligosaccharides, which might be ectopically expressed during tumorigenesis (PubMed:12107080, PubMed:11439191, PubMed:11726653).
Sample type
Recommended sample types are human plasma and serum. For other sample types e.g cerebrospinal fluid, (CSF), tissue or cell lysate, please contact support@olink.com for more information. Please note that protein expression levels are expected to vary in different sample types and certain assays may be affected by interfering substances such as hemolysate.
Precision
Precision (repeatability) is calculated from linearized NPX values over LOD.
Analytical measuring range
The technical data reported below refers to the measured value in the in vitro validation assays run using known concentrations of recombinant antigen.
Dilution factor
For optimal assay readout, Olink assays are run using different dilutions of the original samples e.g. undiluted, 1:10, or higher. The dilution factor for this assay is noted below and should be taken into account when estimating the appropriate addressable biological concentration of the protein based on the in vitro validation data.
