Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a Golgi stack membrane protein that is involved in the creation of a precursor of the H antigen, which is required for the final step in the synthesis of soluble A and B antigens. This is one of two genes encoding the galactoside 2-L-fucosyltransferase enzyme. Mutations in this gene are a cause of the H-Bombay blood group. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016].
- UniProt Summary: Creates a soluble precursor oligosaccharide FuC-alpha ((1,2)Gal-beta-) called the H antigen which is an essential substrate for the final step in the soluble A and B antigen synthesis pathway. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2118655}.
