Gene: GXYLT2

Alternate names for this Gene: GLT8D4

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a xylosyltransferase that elongates O-linked glucose bound to epidermal growth factor (EGF) repeats. The encoded protein catalyzes the addition of xylose to the O-glucose-modified residues of EGF repeats of Notch proteins.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3p13

Description of this Gene: glucoside xylosyltransferase 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
