Exostosin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EXT2 gene.[1][2][3]

This gene encodes one of two glycosyltransferases involved in the chain elongation step of heparan sulfate biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene cause the type II form of Multiple Exostoses.[3]

Interactions

EXT2 (gene) has been shown to interact with TRAP1.[4]
