Facts about Chondroitin sulfate N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1.
Important role in chondroitin chain biosynthesis in cartilage formation and following endochondral ossification (PubMed:11788602, PubMed:12163485, PubMed:12446672, PubMed:17145758). Moreover, is involved in the metabolism of aggrecan (By similarity).
