Also Known as FT1A; FCT3A; Fuc-TVI; FucT-VI

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 2528

About FUT6

Cytogenetic location: 19p13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:5,830,408-5,839,702 (from NCBI)

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 380 orthologues, 7 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 17.3), esophagus (RPKM 12.2) and 8 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a Golgi stack membrane protein that is involved in the creation of sialyl-Lewis X, an E-Selectin ligand. Mutations in this gene are a cause of fucosyltransferase-6 deficiency. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
