EXT1 and EXT2 cDNA, alone or in combination, cloned into the pBudCE4.1 vector, which contains two multiple cloning sites for simultaneous expression of two proteins. EXT1 cloned into the multiple cloning sites with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate-early promotor and EXT2 into the multiple cloning sites with the human elongation factor 1alpha promotor. Constructs transfected into HEK-293 cells stably expressing NDST1 from the pCDNA3 vector. Mutated EXT2 cDNA cloned into the pBudCE4.1 vector and transfected into HEK-93 cells overexpressing NDST1. EXT2 cDNA inserted into the pCAGGS expression vector under the control of the CMV immediate-early enhancer and the chicken beta-actin promoter (CAG) for constitutively high tissue expression from fertilized eggs and early embryonic stage through adulthood. The cDNA construct cloned into the unique EcoR1 site between the CAG promoter and the rabbit beta-globin sequence. Vector linearized with BamH1 and SalI and injected into mice B6CBAF1 oocytes | Mus musculus |

physiological function | the level of expression of EXT1 and EXT2 affects the amount of glucosaminyl N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase 1 (NDST1) present in the cell, which, in turn, greatly influences heparan sulfate structure. Overexpression of EXT2 in HEK 293 cells enhances NDST1 expression, increases NDST1 N-glycosylation, and results in elevated heparan sulfate sulfation, overexpression of EXT1 has opposite effects. Heart tissue from transgenic mice overexpressing EXT2 shows increased NDST activity. NDST1 interacts with EXT2, NDST1 may compete with EXT1 for binding to EXT2 | Mus musculus |
