malfunction | conditional Ext1 mutant mice display severe limb skeletal defects, including shortened and malformed limb bones, oligodactyly, and fusion of joints. the segregation of the pSmad1/5/8-expressing chondrocytes and fibronectin-expressing perichondrium-like cells surrounding chondrocyte nodules is disrupted in mutant micromass cultures, Ext2-mutant phenotypes, detailed overview | Mus musculus |
physiological function | Ext1 encodes an essential glycosyltransferase for heparan sulfate synthesis, heparan sulfate is essential for patterning of limb skeletal elements | Mus musculus |
