Catalyzes the transfer of sulfate to position 4 of non-reducing N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues in both N-glycans and O-glycans. Required for biosynthesis of glycoprotein hormones lutropin and thyrotropin, by mediating sulfation of their carbohydrate structures. Only active against terminal GalNAcbeta1,GalNAcbeta. Not active toward chondroitin.Okuda T., J. Biol. Chem. 275:40605-40613(2000).Hiraoka N., Glycobiology 11:495-504(2001).Barret A., J. Biol. Chem. 280:10516-10523(2005).
