Summary: Enables protein xylosyltransferase activity. Involved in glycosaminoglycan biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within heparin biosynthetic process and proteoglycan biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in alimentary system; cardiovascular system; integumental system; and nervous system. Used to study polycystic kidney disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Orthologous to human XYLT2 (xylosyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
