Background Descriptions | The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the glycosyltransferase family. It is localized to the golgi, and catalyzes the last step in the biosynthesis of Lewis X (LeX) antigen, the addition of a fucose to precursor polysaccharides. This protein is one of the few fucosyltransferases that synthesizes the LeX oligosaccharide (CD15) expressed in the organ buds progressing in mesenchyma during embryogenesis. It is also responsible for the expression of CD15 in mature granulocytes. A common haplotype of this gene has also been associated with susceptibility to placental malaria infection.

Function | Catalyzes preferentially the transfer of L-fucose, from a guanosine diphosphate-beta-L-fucose, to the N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) of an N-acetyllactosamine unit (type 2 chain) of an oligosaccharide, or a glycoprotein- and a glycolipid-linked N- acetyllactosamine unit via an alpha (1,3) linkage and participates in the surface expression of VIM-2, Lewis X/SSEA-1 and sialyl Lewis X antigens (PubMed:14718375, PubMed:1740457, PubMed:17604274, PubMed:29593094, PubMed:7721776, PubMed:9737988, PubMed:9737989). Preferentially transfers fucose to the GlcNAc of an internal N- acetyllactosamine unit of a poly-N-acetyllactosamine chain acceptor substrate (PubMed:17604274, PubMed:7721776). Also catalyzes to a lesser extend the transfer of L-fucose to the GlcNAc of a type 1 (beta-D- galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl) or H-type 1 (alpha-L- Fuc-(1->2)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-D-GlcNAc) chain oligosaccharide via an alpha (1,4) linkage (PubMed:14718375, PubMed:1740457, PubMed:17604274, PubMed:7721776, PubMed:9737988). Preferentially catalyzes sialylated type 2 oligosaccharide acceptors over neutral type 2 or H type 2 (alpha-L-Fuc-(1->2)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-D-GlcNAc) oligosaccharide acceptors (PubMed:1740457, PubMed:9737989). Lactose-based structures are also acceptor substrates (PubMed:1740457, PubMed:7721776). |
