Xylosyltransferase
Xylosyltransferase are transferase enzymes which act upon xylose and are classified under EC 2.4.2.

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

Dolichyl-xylosyl-phosphate—protein xylosyltransferase
In enzymology, a dolichyl-xylosyl-phosphate-protein xylosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.33) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

dolichyl D-xylosyl phosphate + protein  dolichyl phosphate + D-xylosylprotein

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are dolichyl D-xylosyl phosphate and protein, whereas its two products are dolichyl phosphate and D-xylosylprotein.

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the pentosyltransferases.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is dolichyl-D-xylosyl-phosphate:protein D-xylosyltransferase.
