Exostosin-like 2

BE0004629ProteinHumansEXTL2

Glycosyltransferase required for the biosynthesis of heparan-sulfate and responsible for the alternating addition of beta-1-4-linked glucuronic acid (GlcA) and alpha-1-4-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) units to nascent heparan sulfate chains. It is acted on by 3 drugs in DrugBank.
