EC 2.4.1.224 Details
EC number
2.4.1.224
Accepted name
glucuronosyl-N-acetylglucosaminyl-proteoglycan 4-α-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
Reaction
UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + β-D-glucuronosyl-(1→4)-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-proteoglycan = UDP + N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-(1→4)-β-D-glucuronosyl-(1→4)-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-proteoglycan
Other name(s)
α-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II glucuronyl-N-acetylglucosaminylproteoglycan α-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
Systematic name
UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine:β-D-glucuronosyl-(1→4)-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-proteoglycan 4-α-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
CAS registry number
336193-98-7
Comment
Involved in the biosynthesis of heparin and heparan sulfate. Some forms of the enzyme from human (particularly the enzyme complex encoded by the EXT1 and EXT2 genes) act as bifunctional glycosyltransferases, which also have the 4-β-glucuronosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.225, N-acetylglucosaminyl-proteoglycan 4-β-glucuronosyltransferase) activity required for the synthesis of the heparan sulfate disaccharide repeats. Other human forms of this enzyme (e.g. the product of the EXTL1 gene) have only the 4-α-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the product of the rib-2 gene displays the activities of this enzyme as well as EC 2.4.1.223, glucuronosyl-galactosyl-proteoglycan 4-α-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase.
