exostosin glycosyltransferase 2

This gene encodes one of two glycosyltransferases involved in the chain elongation step of heparan sulfate biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene cause the type II form of multiple exostoses. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

exostosin glycosyltransferase 1

This gene encodes an endoplasmic reticulum-resident type II transmembrane glycosyltransferase involved in the chain elongation step of heparan sulfate biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene cause the type I form of multiple exostoses. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

exostosin-like glycosyltransferase 1

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

exostosin-like glycosyltransferase 2

Enables alpha-1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity and glucuronyl-galactosyl-proteoglycan 4-alpha-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Involved in N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process and UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine metabolic process. Located in cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum; and nucleoplasm.

exostosin-like glycosyltransferase 3

This gene encodes a single-pass membrane protein which functions as a glycosyltransferase. The encoded protein catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine to glycosaminoglycan chains. This reaction is important in heparin and heparan sulfate synthesis. Alternative splicing results in the multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
