Exostosin-2

NCI: Multiple exostoses type 2 gene product, one of three EXT genetic loci involved in hereditary multiple exostoses. EXT2 protein is a glycosyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate, and a putative tumor suppressor.,NCI: EXT2 is a presumed tumor suppressor. EXT1 and EXT2 proteins are type II transmembrane glycoproteins that appear to form a heterooligomeric complex having glycosyl transferase activity involved in heparan sulfate polymerization. EXT2 interacts with a UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyl transferase. EXT1 and EXT2 proteins may play a role in modulation/diffusion of hedgehog signaling. EXT2 is involved in hereditary multiple exostoses. (from OMIM 133701 and NCI)
