Has both beta-1,3-glucuronic acid and beta-1,4-N-acetylgalactosamine transferase activity. Transfers glucuronic acid (GlcUA) from UDP-GlcUA and N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from UDP-GalNAc to the non-reducing end of the elongating chondroitin polymer. Involved in the negative control of osteogenesis likely through the modulation of NOTCH signaling. 3-O-(beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine = 3-O-(beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + H(+) + UDP 3-O-(beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-[beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)](n)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine = 3-O-([beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)](n+1)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + H(+) + UDP 3-O-(beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate = 3-O-(beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + H(+) + UDP 3-O-([beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)](n)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate = 3-O-(beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-[beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)](n)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + H(+) + UDP Divalent metal cations. Highest activities are measured with Co(2+), Mn(2+) and Cd(2+). Ubiquitous, with the highest levels in placenta. Detected at low levels in brain, heart, skeletal muscle, colon, thymus, spleen, kidney, liver, adrenal gland, mammary gland, stomach, small intestine, lung and peripheral blood leukocytes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Belongs to the chondroitin N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase family. Extended N-terminus. Chondroitin sulfate synthase 1
