======= FUT6 ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: FUT6 * **Official Name**: fucosyltransferase 6 * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=2528|2528]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P51993|P51993]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=FUT6&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20FUT6|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/136836|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: The protein encoded by this gene is a Golgi stack membrane protein that is involved in the creation of sialyl-Lewis X, an E-selectin ligand. Mutations in this gene are a cause of fucosyltransferase-6 deficiency. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the E-Selectin ligand, sialyl-Lewis X. Catalyzes the transfer of fucose from GDP- beta-fucose to alpha-2,3 sialylated substrates. |Glyco transf 10| |3-galactosyl-N-acetylglucosaminide 4-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase activity| |alpha-(1->3)-fucosyltransferase activity| |L-fucose metabolic process| |fucose catabolic process| |L-fucose catabolic process| |fucosyltransferase activity| |fucose metabolic process| |fucosylation| |hexose catabolic process| |monosaccharide catabolic process| |ceramide metabolic process| |Golgi cisterna membrane| |carbohydrate catabolic process| |sphingolipid metabolic process| |hexose metabolic process| |monosaccharide metabolic process| |membrane lipid metabolic process| |protein glycosylation| |macromolecule glycosylation| |glycosylation| |glycoprotein biosynthetic process| |glycoprotein metabolic process| |small molecule catabolic process| |carbohydrate metabolic process| |carbohydrate derivative biosynthetic process| |cellular amide metabolic process| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |Golgi apparatus| |carbohydrate derivative metabolic process| |lipid metabolic process| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |small molecule metabolic process| |macromolecule biosynthetic process| |organic substance catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
