Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - EXTL2 is a transmembrane protein with a predicted molecular weight of approximately 120 kDa. - It is localized to the cell surface and is associated with various cell types. - It is a glycosyltransferase enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a glucuronic acid residue from UDP-glucuronic acid to galactose residues on specific proteins. **Pathways and functions:** - EXTL2 is involved in several important cellular processes, including cell migration, cell adhesion, cell signaling, and tissue development. - It is a key regulator of angiogenesis, as it is expressed in high levels in endothelial cells and is required for the formation of new blood vessels. - It is also involved in cell migration, as it is expressed in cells that are migrating through the extracellular matrix. - EXTL2 is also involved in cell signaling, as it is a receptor for the growth factor GDNF. - It plays a role in tissue development, as it is expressed in developing brain structures such as the placenta and the nervous system. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in the EXTL2 gene have been linked to several human diseases, including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism. - Exostosin-like glycoprotein 2 (EXTL2) is a promising target for the treatment of these disorders, as it is involved in the pathogenesis of these conditions. - Small molecule inhibitors of EXTL2 have been shown to be effective in inhibiting tumor growth and migration, suggesting that EXTL2 could be a potential therapeutic agent for cancer.
