CHSY3 and rectum adenocarcinoma: We found that the expression of seven chondroitin sulfate biosynthetic enzymes, namely B4GALT7, B3GALT6, B3GAT3, CHSY3, CHSY1, CHPF, and CHPF2, were significantly increased, while four other enzymes (XYLT1, CHST7, CHST15, and UST) were decreased in the colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) and rectum adenocarcinoma (READ) patients.
