POFUT2 - protein O-fucosyltransferase 2 Gene
Also Known as FUT13; C21orf80
Species: Homo sapiens
About POFUT2
This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants) and 213 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 7.6), placenta (RPKM 6.4) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
Fucose is typically found as a terminal modification of branched chain glycoconjugates, but it also exists in direct O-linkage to serine or threonine residues within cystine knot motifs in epidermal growth factor (EGF; MIM 131530)-like repeats or thrombospondin (THBS; see MIM 188060) type-1 repeats. POFUT2 is an O-fucosyltransferase that use THBS type-1 repeats as substrates (Luo et al., 2006 [PubMed 16464857]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
