Comments
Comment typeDescription
FunctionTransfers a fucose to lacto-N-neotetraose but not to either alpha2,3-sialyl lacto-N-neotetraose or lacto-N-tetraose. Can catalyze the last step in the biosynthesis of Lewis antigen, the addition of a fucose to precursor polysaccharides.
PathwayProtein modification; protein glycosylation.
SimilarityBelongs to the glycosyltransferase 10 family.
Subcellular LocationGolgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane {ECO
Tissue SpecificityStrongly expressed in forebrain and stomach, lower expression in spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes, and no expression in small intestine, colon, liver, lung, kidney, adrenal cortex or uterus.
