Summary: Enables acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity; glucuronosyltransferase activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on gene expression; protein N-linked glycosylation; and sulfation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including heparan sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process; heparin biosynthetic process; and sodium ion homeostasis. Located in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; ear; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Used to study hereditary multiple exostoses. Orthologous to human EXT2 (exostosin glycosyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

Using mouse embryonic stem cell-derived mosaic tissues with compartments that lack Exostosin1 and Exostosin2, or Glypican5, it has been shown that Shh accumulates around its source cells when they are surrounded by cells that have a mutated extracellular matrix.
Title: Loss of the Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan Glypican5 Facilitates Long-Range Sonic Hedgehog Signaling.
Let-7b-mediated suppression of initiation codon depends on the length of 5'-UTR of EXT2 mRNA and its suppression is inhibited in the presence of polyamines.
Title: Polyamines release the let-7b-mediated suppression of initiation codon recognition during the protein synthesis of EXT2.
Heterozygous loss of function of EXT1 and EXT2 results in a decreased arteriolar endothelial glycocalyx but improved flow mediated vasodilation.
Title: Loss of function in heparan sulfate elongation genes EXT1 and EXT 2 results in improved nitric oxide bioavailability and endothelial function.
The study indicates that formation of stereotypic exostoses requires a significant, but not complete, loss of Ext expression.
Title: Compound heterozygous loss of Ext1 and Ext2 is sufficient for formation of multiple exostoses in mouse ribs and long bones.
NDST1 competes with EXT1 for binding to EXT2.
Title: Heparan sulfate biosynthesis enzymes EXT1 and EXT2 affect NDST1 expression and heparan sulfate sulfation.
The EXT2 gene encodes an essential component of the glycosyltransferase complex required for biosynthesis of heparan sulfate, which may eventually modulate the signaling involved in bone formation
Title: Transgenic expression of the EXT2 gene in developing chondrocytes enhances the synthesis of heparan sulfate and bone formation in mice.
EXT2 peaks during early postnatal period in the cerebrum and around birth in the cerebellum. EXT2 was localized primarily in the neuroepithelial cells surrounding the lateral ventricles, the mesencephalic vesicle, and the fourth ventricle.
Title: Gene expression of EXT1 and EXT2 during mouse brain development.
Mutant embryos developed normally until embryonic day 6.0, when they became growth arrested and failed to gastrulate, pointing to the early essential role for heparan sulfate in developing embryos.
Title: Mice deficient in Ext2 lack heparan sulfate and develop exostoses.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
