Comments
Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityGDP-beta-L-fucose + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)- N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->3)-beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta- D-glucosyl-(1<->1)-ceramide = GDP + alpha-L-fucosyl-(1->2)-beta-D- galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->3)-beta-D- galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl-(1<->1)-ceramide.
FunctionInvolved in cell wall biosynthesis. Is both necessary and sufficient for the addition of the terminal fucosyl residue on xyloglucan side chains, but is not involved in the fucosylation of other cell wall components. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10373113, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11743104, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11854459, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14730072}.
PathwayProtein modification; protein glycosylation.
SimilarityBelongs to the glycosyltransferase 37 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationGolgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21143678}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21143678}. Note=Membrane-bound form in trans cisternae of Golgi.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in roots, stems, leaves, flowers, siliques and seedlings. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11743104}.
