Description

XXYLT1 encodes a glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of xylose from UDP-xylose to a xylose acceptor, forming a xylose-xylose linkage. This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the glycosaminoglycan-protein linkage region of proteoglycans, specifically adding the second xylose residue to the tetrasaccharide linker. The gene is located on chromosome 3q29 and is expressed in various tissues.

Protein Summary

XXYLT1 is a 392-amino acid type II transmembrane protein localized to the Golgi apparatus. It functions as a xyloside xylosyltransferase, catalyzing the addition of a second xylose residue to the tetrasaccharide linker region of proteoglycans. This step is essential for the elongation of glycosaminoglycan chains. The protein contains a single transmembrane domain and a catalytic domain facing the Golgi lumen.
