Gene information for POFUT2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23275
Official gene symbolPOFUT2
Full nameprotein O-fucosyltransferase 2
Aliases,C21orf80,FUT13,
Gene summaryFucose 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]
