FUT4

HGNC ID: 4015

Target Abstract:

CD15 is a 220 kDa carbohydrate, also known as SSEA-1, Lewis 3-fucosyl N-acetyllactoamine (3-FAL). CD15 is expressed on most granulocytes and monocytes, but not on lymphocytes. It participates in cell adhesion, chemotaxis, and phagocytosis.

Human FUT4 Predicted Functions

Enables 4-galactosyl-N-acetylglucosaminide 3-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase activity. Involved in oligosaccharide metabolic process and regulation of leukocyte cell-cell adhesion. Located in trans-Golgi network.

Mouse Fut4 Target Information

Mouse Fut4 Predicted Functions

Predicted to enable 4-galactosyl-N-acetylglucosaminide 3-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase activity. Involved in positive regulation of leukocyte tethering or rolling. Located in cell periphery and cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including ear; embryo ectoderm; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human FUT4 (fucosyltransferase 4).
