From HandWiki
Short description: Class of enzymes
Xylosyltransferase are transferase enzymes which act upon xylose and are classified under EC 2.4.2.[1][2]
More specifically, they can refer to:
- Dolichyl-phosphate D-xylosyltransferase
- Dolichyl-xylosyl-phosphate-protein xylosyltransferase
- Flavonol-3-O-glycoside xylosyltransferase
- Glycoprotein 2-beta-D-xylosyltransferase
- Protein xylosyltransferase
- Xyloglucan 6-xylosyltransferase
- XYLT1
- XYLT2
- Zeatin O-beta-D-xylosyltransferase

xylosyl transferase is the first enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycan chains, an important constituent of proteoglycans. There are two types of xylosyl transferases type I and type II.
