malfunction | Ext1 knock-down reduces heparan sulfate, and increases chondrogenic markers and proteoglycan accumulation. Ext1 knock-down reduces active Wnt/beta-catenin signaling | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | the enzyme is required for heparan sulfate chain elongation in heparan sulfate-proteoglycan biosynthesis. EXT1 affects chondrogenic differentiation of precursor cells, in part via changes in the activity of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. Wnt/beta-catenin signaling controls Ext1 expression, suggesting a regulatory loop between EXT1 and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling during chondrogenesis | Homo sapiens |
