Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 14348 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 4-galactosyl-N-acetylglucosaminide 3-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including Lewis x epitope biosynthetic process; N-glycan fucosylation; and carbohydrate biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within protein glycosylation. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in central nervous system and urinary system. Orthologous to human FUT9 (fucosyltransferase 9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased number of neuronal stem cells with increased self-renewal capacity. [provided by MGI curators] |
