Galactoside 3(4)-L-fucosyltransferase (Fucosyltransferase 3)

Target (abbrv.) Fucosyltransferase 3
Target (full name) Galactoside 3(4)-L-fucosyltransferase
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL005575 (4548-4_2)
Entrez Gene Symbol FUT3
UniProt ID P21217
UniProt Comment
  • May catalyze alpha-1,3 and alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkages involved in the expression of Vim-2, Lewis A, Lewis B, sialyl Lewis X and Lewis X/SSEA-1 antigens. May be involved in blood group Lewis determination; Lewis-positive (Le(+)) individuals have an active enzyme while Lewis-negative (Le(-)) individuals have an inactive enzyme. Also acts on the corresponding 1,4-galactosyl derivative, forming 1,3-L-fucosyl links.

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs778986) and 1 proxy variant(s) that is/are in linkage disequilibrium r2 ≥ 0.8. Linkage disequilibrium is based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population and was retrieved using SNiPA's Block Annotation feature.
