Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a tumor-rejection antigen. It is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and functions to convert D-glucuronic acid to L-iduronic acid during the biosynthesis of dermatan sulfate. This antigen possesses tumor epitopes capable of inducing HLA-A24-restricted and tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes in cancer patients and may be useful for specific immunotherapy. Mutations in this gene cause inmusculocontractural Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 9, and a paralogous gene exists on chromosome 18. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016],
Function
catalytic activity:Chondroitin D-glucuronate = dermatan L-iduronate.,function:Converts D-glucuronic acid to L-iduronic acid (IdoUA) residues.,pathway:Glycan metabolism; chondroitin sulfate biosynthesis.,pathway:Glycan metabolism; heparan sulfate biosynthesis.,similarity:Belongs to the dermatan-sulfate isomerase family.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed with higher expression in kidney and ovary and lower expression in brain, colon and thymus. Also expressed in renal cell carcinomas, brain tumors, and in a part of melanomas and adenocarcinomas from organs other than the breast. Expressed in squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), glioma, and some adenocarcinoma cell lines, but not in breast cancer cell lines or any normal tissues (at protein level).,
