EXT1 exostosin glycosyltransferase 1

Gene ID: 2131, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: EXT; LGS; TTV; LGCR; TRPS2

Summary

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]
