Retrospective analysis of serum NELL-1 and EXT1/2: no significant predictive value for treatment response in a cohort of membranous nephropathy patients [PDF]
Neural epidermal growth factor-like protein 1 (NELL-1) and the exostosin 1/2 complex (EXT1/2) are recently identified target antigens in membranous nephropathy (MN), yet their prevalence and clinical features in Chinese populations remain poorly ...

Ext1 heterozygosity causes a modest effect on postprandial lipid clearance in humans[S] [PDF]
Elevated nonfasting TG-rich lipoprotein levels are a risk factor for CVD. To further evaluate the relevance of LDL-receptor (LDLr) pathway and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) in TG homeostasis, we analyzed fasting and postprandial TG levels in mice

Exome sequencing and functional analysis identifies a novel mutation in EXT1 gene that causes multiple osteochondromas. [PDF]
Multiple osteochondromas (MO) is an inherited skeletal disorder, and the molecular mechanism of MO remains elusive. Exome sequencing has high chromosomal coverage and accuracy, and has recently been successfully used to identify pathogenic gene mutations.

Dual roles of exostosin glycosyltransferase 1 in Zika virus infection [PDF]
Many factors involved in heparan sulfate (HS) biosynthesis and metabolism have been reported to play roles in viral infection. However, the detailed mechanisms are still not fully understood. In this study, we report that exostosin glycosyltransferase 1 (
