Function | Glycosyltransferase required for the biosynthesis of heparan-sulfate. The EXT1/EXT2 complex possesses substantially higher glycosyltransferase activity than EXT1 or EXT2 alone. Appears to be a tumor suppressor. |
Subcellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10679296}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10679296}. Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10679296}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10679296}. Note=The EXT1/EXT2 complex is localized in the Golgi apparatus. |
Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitous. |
