{"symbol":"EXTL1","synonyms":["EXTL"],"name":"exostosin-like glycosyltransferase 1","description":"This gene is a member of the multiple exostoses (EXT) family of glycosyltransferases, which function in the chain polymerization of heparan sulfate and heparin. The encoded protein harbors alpha 1,4- N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity, and is involved in chain elongation of heparan sulfate and possibly heparin.
