MeSH definition : A bifunctional glycosyltransferase involved in transferring GLUCURONIC ACID and N-ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE
in the elongation of HEPARAN SULFATE chains. Mutations in the gene EXT1, coding for
this protein (as well as mutations in other genes), are responsible for defects in
heparan sulfate synthesis resulting in HEREDITARY MULTIPLE EXOSTOSES. Exostosin-1,
along with EXOSTOSIN-2, is a component of heparan sulfate polymerase.;
