Enzyme Information

2.4.1.223
Glucuronosyl-galactosyl-proteoglycan 4-alpha-N- acetylglucosaminyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9ES89
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine + [protein]-3-O-(beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)- beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-serine = UDP + [protein]-3-O-(alpha-D-GlcNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal- (1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-serine.
-!- Enzyme involved in the initiation of heparin and heparan sulfate synthesis, transferring GlcNAc to the (GlcA-Gal-Gal-Xyl-)Ser core. -!- Apparently products of both the human EXTL2 and EXTL3 genes can catalyze this reaction. -!- In Caenorhabditis elegans, the product of the rib-2 gene displays this activity as well as that of EC 2.4.1.224.
