DNA/RNA

 
Description Sixteen exons across the EXT2 locus were identified, two of which (1a and 1b) are alternatively spliced; spans approximately 108 kb of genomic DNA
Transcription 3.5 and 3.7 kb

Protein

Description 718 amino acids; 82.2 kDa
Expression mRNA is ubiquitously expressed. In mouse embryo's, a high level of expression of Ext2 mRNA has been found in developing limb buds and expression was demonstrated to be confined to the proliferating and prehypertrophic chondrocytes of the growth plate.
Localisation endoplasmic reticulum
Function
  • a tumour suppressor function is suggested; exostosin-2 (EXT2) is an endoplasmic reticulum localized type II transmembrane glycoprotein which together with exostosin-1 (EXT1) forms a Golgi-localized hetero-oligomeric complex that catalyzes heparan sulphate (HS) polymerization.
  • It is thus hypothesized that EXT controls HSPG synthesis and display at the cell surface, which in turn is involved in FGF and IHh/PTHrP signalling within the normal growth plate.
    • Homology human EXT1, EXTL1, EXTL2 and EXTL3, mouse Ext2

    Mutations

    Germinal germline mutations in EXT2 are causative for hereditary multiple exostoses, a heterogeneous autosomal dominant disorder; mutations include nucleotide substitutions (57%), small deletions (19%) and small insertions (24%), of which the majority is predicted to result in a truncated or non-functional protein
    Somatic no somatic mutations were found in 34 sporadic and hereditary osteochondromas and secondary peripheral chondrosarcomas tested

    Implicated in

    Entity hereditary multiple exostoses
    Prognosis the main complication in hereditary multiple exostoses is malignant transformation of an osteochondroma (exostosis) into chondrosarcoma, which is estimated to occur in 1-3% of the HME cases
    Cytogenetics 11p rearrangement was found in 1 sporadic osteochondroma (exostosis) using cytogenetic analysis; loss of heterozygosity at the EXT2 locus was absent in 14 osteochondromas
