Gene: XYLT1
Alternate names for this Gene: DBQD2|PXYLT1|XT-I|XT1|XTI|XYLTI|xylT-I
Gene Summary: This 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 16
Location in Chromosome : 16p12.3
Description of this Gene: xylosyltransferase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
