Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The hallmark in osteoarthritis (OA) is the loss of proteoglycans (PGs) in articular cartilage (AC). Xylosyltransferase I (XT-I) catalyzes the transfer of xylose to serine residues in the core protein and initiates the biosynthesis of PGs in AC. The XYLT-II gene encodes a highly homolog...
