Abstract excerpt
Exostosin1 (Ext1) belongs to a family of glycosyltransferases necessary for the synthesis of the heparan sulfate (HS) chains of proteoglycans, which regulate signaling of several growth factors. Loss of tout velu (ttv), the homolog of Ext1 in Drosophila, inhibits Hedgehog movement. In contrast, we show that reduced HS synthesis in mice carrying a hypomorphic mutation in Ext1 results in an elevated range of Indian...
