EXTL2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His)
The EXTL2 protein is a key glycosyltransferase in heparan sulfate biosynthesis, responsible for overseeing the conversion of β-1-4-linked glucuronic acid (GlcA) and α-1-4-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) units Alternating sulfate chains are added to the nascent heparan. The function of this enzyme is critical for the complex and precise construction of heparan sulfate, a key component of various biological processes. EXTL2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived EXTL2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Background
EXTL2 (Exostosin-Like 2) is a glycosyltransferase crucial for the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate, a complex and essential glycosaminoglycan. Its enzymatic activity involves the alternating addition of beta-1-4-linked glucuronic acid (GlcA) and alpha-1-4-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) units to nascent heparan sulfate chains. This enzymatic process is integral to the construction of the intricate polysaccharide structure of heparan sulfate, which, in turn, plays key roles in various cellular functions, including cell signaling, adhesion, and tissue development.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).
Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Room temperature in continental US;may vary elsewhere.
