Cloning and characterization of O-xylosyltransferase gene from Pinctada fucata martensii

Glycosaminoglycan (GAG), an important component of proteoglycan (PG), was biosynthesized with the initiation by peptide O-xylosyltransferase. O-xylosyltransferase activity was presented as a marker for increased PG synthesis. In the present study, a novel O-xylosyltransferase (OXT) gene was identifi...
