Function Glycosyltransferase that initiates the elongation of O- linked fucose residues attached to EGF-like repeats in the extracellular domain of Notch molecules. Decreases the binding of JAGGED1 to NOTCH2 but not that of DELTA1. Essential mediator of somite segmentation and patterning (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular Location Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
