Comment(s) |
- Product of the Lewis blood group gene.
- Normally acts on a glycoconjugate where R (see CA line) is a
glycoprotein or glycolipid.
- Although it is a 4-fucosyltransferase, it has a persistent
3-fucosyltransferase activity toward the glucose residue in free
lactose.
- Fucosylates on O-4 of an N-acetylglucosamine that carries a
galactosyl group on O-3, unlike EC 2.4.1.152 which fucosylates on O-3
of an N-acetylglucosamine that carries a galactosyl group on O-4.
- Enzymes catalyzing the 4-alpha-fucosylation of the GlcNAc in beta-D-
Gal-(1->3)-beta-GlcNAc sequences (with some activity also as 3-alpha-
fucosyltransferases) are present in plants, where the function in
vivo is the modification of N-glycans.
- In addition, the fucTa gene of Helicobacter strain UA948 encodes a
fucosyltransferase with both 3-alpha- and 4-alpha-fucosyltransferase
activities.
