IUBMB Comments

Involved in the biosynthesis of heparin and heparan sulfate. Some forms of the human enzyme (particularly the enzyme complex encoded by the EXT1 and EXT2 genes) act as bifunctional glycosyltransferases, which also have the glucuronosyl-N-acetylglucosaminyl-proteoglycan 4-α-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.224) activity required for the synthesis of the heparan sulfate disaccharide repeats.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Eukaryota, Bacteria

Synonyms
extl3, exostosin, rib-1, rib-2, ext-1, ext-2, tout velu, heparan sulfate co-polymerase, ext-3, glucuronic acid/n-acetylglucosamine co-polymerase-1, more
