Function
- creates the blood group H antigen
- protein modification; protein glycosylation
Structure
belongs to the glycosyltransferase 11 family
Compartment
Expression
- FUT1 & FUT2 encode galactoside 2-L-fucosyltransferase
- they are expressed in a tissue-specific manner with expression restricted to cells of mesodermal or endodermal origin respectively
Polymorphism
- nonfunctional mutant of FUT1 is associated with the Bombay phenotype
