EXT2 wt Allele

Preferred Label : EXT2 wt Allele;

NCIt synonyms : SOTV; Exostoses (Multiple) 2 Gene; Multiple Exostosis 2 Gene; SSMS; Exostosin Glycosyltransferase 2 wt Allele;

NCIt definition : Human EXT2 wild-type allele is located within 11p12-p11 and is approximately 150 kb in length. This allele, which encodes exostosin-2 protein, plays a role in the chain elongation step of heparin sulfate biosynthesis. Certain allelic variants of the EXT2 gene cause multiple exostoses type II.;

NCIt note : The EXT2 gene is a putative tumor suppressor gene.;

GenBank Accession Number : U64511;
