XYLT2

XT2; XT-II; xylT-II; E030002B02Rik; Xylosyltransferase Ii

Enables protein xylosyltransferase activity. Involved in glycosaminoglycan biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within heparin proteoglycan biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in alimentary system; cardiovascular system; integumental system; and nervous system. Used to study polycystic kidney disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Orthologous to human XYLT2 (xylosyltransferase 2).
