basic FUNCTION
| initiating biosynthesis of chondroitin and heparan sulfate, heparin and dermatan sulfate |
|
initial enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the glycosaminoglycan linker region in proteoglycans |
|
catalyses the transfer of xylose to specific serine residues in the core protein |
|
XYLT1, XYLT2 are xylosyltransferases with similar but not identical properties, pointing to their potential role in modulating the cellular proteoglycan pool |
|
diagnostic marker of an enhanced proteoglycan biosynthesis |
|
catalyzes the initial and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycan |
|
XYLT1, and FAM20B function in cartilage matrix production and ultimately regulate the timing of skeletal development |
|
catalyzes the rate-limiting step in proteoglycan glycosylation |
|
XYLT1, XYLT2 catalyze the rate-limiting step in proteoglycan biosynthesis |
