Summary: Enables enzyme binding activity and heparan sulfate N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Contributes to glucuronosyltransferase activity. Involved in embryonic morphogenesis; heparan sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process; and pharynx development. Part of protein-containing complex. Used to study hereditary multiple exostoses. Orthologous to human EXTL3 (exostosin like glycosyltransferase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
