Bifunctional heparan sulfate N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NDST3 gene.[1][2] It catalyses the reaction:

3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + α-D-glucosaminyl-[heparan sulfate](n) = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + 2 H+ + N-sulfo-α-D-glucosaminyl-[heparan sulfate](n)[3]

This is a step in the production of heparin.[3]

Clinical significance

Mutations in NDST3 have been linked to schizophrenia.[4]
