Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3′-phospho-5′-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the transfer of sulfate to position 6 of non-reducing N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues of keratan (PubMed:11278593, PubMed:11352640, PubMed:12218059, PubMed:17690104). Cooperates with B4GALT4 galactosyltransferase and B3GNT7 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase to construct and elongate the sulfated disaccharide unit [->3Galbeta1->4(6-sulfoGlcNAcbeta)1->] within keratan sulfate polymer. Involved in biosynthesis of keratan sulfate in cornea, with an impact on proteoglycan fibril organization and corneal transparency (PubMed:11278593, PubMed:12218059, PubMed:17690104). Involved in sulfation of endothelial mucins such as GLYCAM1 (PubMed:11352640).
