malfunction | EXT1 influences fibroblast matrix interactions. Essential role of EXT1 in providing specific binding sites for growth factors and extracellular matrix proteins. Phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in response to FGF2 stimulation is markedly decreased in the Ext1 mutant fibroblasts, whereas neither PDGF-BB nor FGF10 signaling is significantly affected. Ext1 mutants display reduced ability to attach to collagen I and to contract collagen lattices. Reintroduction of Ext1 in Ext1 mutant fibroblasts rescues heparan sulfate chain length, FGF2 signaling, and the ability of the fibroblasts to contract collagen | Mus musculus |
