Role of EXT1 and Glycosaminoglycans in the Early Stage of Filovirus Entry [PDF]
ABSTRACT Filoviruses, including both Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV), can infect humans and other animals, causing hemorrhagic fever with a high mortality rate. Entry of these viruses into the host is mediated by a single filoviral glycoprotein (GP).

Hereditary multiple exostoses caused by a chromosomal inversion removing part of EXT1 gene
Background Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by the development of multiple, circumscript and usually symmetric bony protuberances called osteochondromas.

Left ventricular systolic function and initial exercise capacity—their importance for results of cardiac rehabilitation after acute coronary syndrome [PDF]
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare initial and final exercise tolerance and to evaluate the determinants of exercise capacity improvement—after three weeks of inpatient cardiac rehabilitation. Methods: A cohort of 494 patients after acute coronary

Mutations in the EXT1 and EXT2 genes in Spanish patients with multiple osteochondromas [PDF]
Multiple osteochondromas is an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by the formation of multiple cartilage-capped tumours. Two causal genes have been identified, EXT1 and EXT2, which account for 65% and 30% of cases, respectively. We have undertaken a mutation analysis of the EXT1 and EXT2 genes in 39 unrelated Spanish patients, most of ...

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.

Proteomic Analysis of Complement Proteins in Membranous Nephropathy
Introduction: Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in Caucasian adults. Phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)– and exostosin 1 (EXT1)/exostosin 2 (EXT2)–associated MN represent the most common primary and secondary forms

Contribution of EXT1, EXT2, and EXTL3 to Heparan Sulfate Chain Elongation [PDF]
The exostosin (EXT) family of genes encodes glycosyltransferases involved in heparan sulfate biosynthesis. Five human members of this family have been cloned to date: EXT1, EXT2, EXTL1, EXTL2, and EXTL3. EXT1 and EXT2 are believed to form a Golgi-located hetero-oligomeric complex that catalyzes the chain elongation step in heparan sulfate biosynthesis,

Genomic Organization and Promoter Structure of the Human EXT1 Gene
Hereditary predisposition to multiple exostoses is a genetically heterogeneous disease. Recently, we have reported the identification of the EXT1 gene on human chromosome 8. We have now isolated a cDNA clone from a human adult lung cDNA library and have determined the genomic organization and promoter structure of the EXT1 gene. The gene is composed of
