  • type II membrane protein
  • membrane-bound form in trans cisternae of Golgi
  • basic FUNCTION
  • creating a soluble precursor oligosaccharide FuC-alpha ((1,2)Galbeta-) called the H antigen which is an essential substrate for the final step in the soluble A and B antigen synthesis pathway
  • regulating the expression of ABO antigenes in erythrocyte membranes and related antigens in several tissues
  • fucosyltransferase required for the biosynthesis of the terminal glycan motif
