Gene information for FUT9 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10690
Official gene symbolFUT9
Full namefucosyltransferase 9 (alpha (1,3) fucosyltransferase)
Aliases,Fuc-TIX,
Gene summaryFUT9 is one of several alpha-3-fucosyltransferases that can catalyze the last step in the biosynthesis of Lewis antigen, the addition of a fucose to precursor polysaccharides. FUT9 synthesizes the LeX oligosaccharide (CD15), which is expressed in organ buds progressing in mesenchyma during human embryogenesis.[supplied by OMIM]
