Also known as: Fuct
Summary: Enables alpha-(1->3)-fucosyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Lewis x epitope biosynthetic process; protein glycosylation; and regulation of leukocyte migration. Predicted to be located in cell periphery; cell surface; and trans-Golgi network. Orthologous to human FUT4 (fucosyltransferase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Study shows that using a rat model of endometriosis, ectopic endometrium showed significantly higher Oct4 (POU5F1), and SSEA1, but similar Thy1 gene expression to that of control endometrium. This indicates increased transition from somatic to pluripotent cell states in ectopic endometrium which may play a role in endometriosis pathogenesis.

The carbohydrate Le(x) epitope has been found in the tetanus neurotoxin insensitive vesicle-associated membrane protein (TI-VAMP) compartment of rat hippocampus neurons in culture, at 7 days in vitro, when neurite extension is abundant.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
