Gene information for XYLT1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID64131
Official gene symbolXYLT1
Full namexylosyltransferase I
Aliases,PXYLT1,XT-I,XT1,XTI,XYLTI,
Gene summaryThis locus encodes a xylosyltransferase enzyme. The encoded protein catalyzes transfer of UDP-xylose to serine residues of an acceptor protein substrate. This transfer reaction is necessary for biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycan chains. Mutations in this gene have been associated with increased severity of pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
