Caenorhabditis elegans
HSE-5
CELE_B0285.5, B0285.5
hse-5 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the heparan sulfate modifying enzyme glucuronyl C5-epimerase; by homology, HSE-5 is predicted to function in heparan sulfate biosynthesis by catalyzing the chain-modifying epimerization of glucuronic acid to iduronic acid; during development, hse-5 activity is required for normal body size, locomotion, and nervous system development; an hse-5::gfp transcriptional reporter fusion is expressed beginning at early embryonic stages and continuing through adulthood; expression in embryos is nearly ubiquitous with later expression primarily restricted to the hypodermis and intestine.
