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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9756916}.
PathwayProtein modification; protein glycosylation.
SimilarityBelongs to the glycosyltransferase 10 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationGolgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Membrane-bound form in trans cisternae of Golgi. {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue SpecificityMainly detected in brain and kidney. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9756916}.
