Also known as EXTR2, exostosin-like glycosyltransferase 2, exostosin like glycosyltransferase 2
Exostosin-like 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EXTL2 gene. EXTL2 Glycosyltransferase is required for the biosynthesis of heparan-sulfate and responsible for the alternating addition of beta-1-4-linked glucuronic acid (GlcA) and alpha-1-4-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) units to nascent heparan sulfate chains.

Enables alpha-1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity and glucuronyl-galactosyl-proteoglycan 4-alpha-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Involved in N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process and UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine metabolic process. Located in cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum; and nucleoplasm.
