|
| Function |
Creates a soluble precursor oligosaccharide FuC-alpha ((1,2)Galbeta-) called the H antigen which is an essential substrate for the final step in the soluble A and B antigen synthesis pathway. H and Se enzymes fucosylate the same acceptor substrates but exhibit different Km values.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note=Membrane-bound form in trans cisternae of Golgi.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Small intestine, colon and lung.
|
| Top Pathways |
Glycosphingolipid biosynthesis - globo series, Glycosphingolipid biosynthesis - lacto and neolacto series
