Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Probably catalyzes the first step in biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycan. Transfers D-xylose from UDP-D-xylose to specific serine residues of the core protein. Initial enzyme in the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate proteoglycans in fibroblasts and chondrocytes (By similarity). Its enzyme activity has not been demonstrated. {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in kidney and pancreas. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11099377}.
