Ext1-Dependent Heparan Sulfate Regulates the Range of Ihh Signaling during Endochondral Ossification [PDF]
Exostosin1 (Ext1) belongs to a family of glycosyltransferases necessary for the synthesis of the heparan sulfate (HS) chains of proteoglycans, which regulate signaling of several growth factors. Loss of tout velu (ttv), the homolog of Ext1 in Drosophila, inhibits Hedgehog movement.

Pan‐cancer analysis reveals an inflammatory phenotype remodeling of tissue‐resident macrophages (iTRM) in the tumor microenvironment, which is associated with immunosuppression. Tissue‐resident macrophages and monocyte‐derived macrophages exhibit convergent differentiation toward a similar inflammatory phenotype. iTRM‐enriched ecosystems are associated

Disruption of Gastrulation and Heparan Sulfate Biosynthesis in EXT1-Deficient Mice
Mutations in the EXT1 gene are responsible for human hereditary multiple exostosis type 1. The Drosophila EXT1 homologue, tout-velu, regulates Hedgehog diffusion and signaling, which play an important role in tissue patterning during both invertebrate and vertebrate development.

Exostoisns (EXT1/2) in Head and Neck Cancers: An In Silico Analysis and Clinical Correlates
Summary: Objectives: The exostosins (EXT), which are responsible for heparan sulfate backbone synthesis and play a vital role in tissue homeostasis, have been reported to be correlated with prognosis of various cancers.

Histopathological features of condylar hyperplasia and condylar Osteochondroma: a comparison study
Background Both mandibular condylar hyperplasia and condylar osteochondroma can lead to maxillofacial skeletal asymmetry and malocclusion, although they exhibit different biological behavior.

A splice mutation and mRNA decay of EXT2 provoke hereditary multiple exostoses.
BackgroundHereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is an autosomal dominant disease. The classical paradigm of mutation screening seeks to relate alterations in the exostosin glycosyltransferase genes, EXT1 and EXT2, which are responsible for over 70% of HME ...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers are assessed on their ability to detect AD pathophysiology in vivo, with confirmation of AD neuropathology only at autopsy. METHODS Positron emission tomography (PET), plasma, and cognitive AD biomarkers were compared to AD neuropathology in Harvard Aging Brain Study participants (10 cognitively

Novel EXT1 mutation identified in a pedigree with hereditary multiple exostoses
Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is an autosomal dominant bone disorder characterized by the presence of multiple benign cartilage-capped tumors. EXT1 located on chromosome 8q23-q24 and EXT2 located on 11p11-p12 are the main disease-causing genes which are responsible for ~90% of HME cases.
