FUT6

FT1A; FCT3A; Fuc-TVI; FucT-VI; Fucosyltransferase 6

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.
