Gene:
xylosyltransferase I
Gene ID:
197157
Symbol:
XYLT1
Species:
1000
Description:
Xylosyltransferase (XT; EC 2.4.2.26) catalyzes the transfer of UDP-xylose to serine residues within XT recognition sequences of target proteins. Addition of this xylose to the core protein is required for the biosynthesis of the glycosaminoglycan chains characteristic of proteoglycans.[supplied by OMIM]
