  • Subunit: Forms a homo/hetero-oligomeric complex with EXT2
  • Tissue specificity: Ubiquitous [IMAGE] Custom PCR Arrays for EXT1 Primer Products: [IMAGE] OriGene qPCR primer pairs and template standards for EXT1 OriGene qSTAR qPCR primer pairs in human, mouse for EXT1 [IMAGE] Pre-validated RT2 qPCR Primer Assay in human, mouse, rat EXT1
  • Function:
    Glycosyltransferase required for the biosynthesis of heparan-sulfate. The EXT1/EXT2 complex possesses substantially higher glycosyltransferase activity than EXT1 or EXT2 alone. Appears to be a tumor suppressor Catalytic activity: UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-proteoglycan = UDP + N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-proteoglycan

    Disorder & Mutation    
    Source Disease
    Genatlasexostoses,multiple,1,also associated with trichorhinophalangeal syndrome in Langer-Giedion syndrome (see LGCR)
    SWISS-PROTTricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome 2 (TRPS2) [MIM:150230]: A syndrome that combines the clinical features of tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome type 1 and multiple exostoses type 1. Affected individuals manifest multiple dysmorphic facial features including large, laterally protruding ears, a bulbous nose, an elongated upper lip, as well as sparse scalp hair, winged scapulae, multiple cartilaginous exostoses, redundant skin, and mental retardation. Note=The gene represented in this entry is involved in disease pathogenesis. A chromosomal aberration resulting in the loss of functional copies of TRPS1 and EXT1 has been found in TRPS2 patients
    SWISS-PROTHereditary multiple exostoses 1 (EXT1) [MIM:133700]: EXT is a genetically heterogeneous bone disorder caused by genes segregating on human chromosomes 8, 11, and 19 and designated EXT1, EXT2 and EXT3 respectively. EXT is a dominantly inherited skeletal disorder primarily affecting endochondral bone during growth. The disease is characterized by formation of numerous cartilage-capped, benign bone tumors (osteocartilaginous exostoses or osteochondromas) that are often accompanied by skeletal deformities and short stature. In a small percentage of cases exostoses have exhibited malignant transformation resulting in an osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma. Osteochondromas development can also occur as a sporadic event. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry
    SWISS-PROTChondrosarcoma (CHDSA) [MIM:215300]: A malignant neoplasm derived from cartilage cells. Chondrosarcomas range from slow-growing non-metastasizing lesions to highly aggressive metastasizing sarcomas. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry
