Exostosin-like 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EXTL1 gene.This gene is a member of the multiple exostoses (EXT) family of glycosyltransferases which function in the chain polymerization of heparan sulfate and heparin. The encoded protein harbors alpha 14- N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity and is involved in chain elongation of heparan sulfate and possibly heparin.
