    Summary
    Enables alpha-(1->6)-fucosyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including N-glycan fucosylation; cell surface receptor signaling pathway; and fibroblast migration. Predicted to be located in Golgi cisterna membrane. Is expressed in telencephalon. Used to study pulmonary emphysema. Orthologous to human FUT8 (fucosyltransferase 8).

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    1. NR_045554.1 RNA Sequence

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (5) has an alternate 5' exon, which contains an upstream ORF with a strong Kozak signal, compared to variant 1. The transcript is sufficiently abundant to represent as a RefSeq record, but is predicted to be non-coding because the upstream ORF makes the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
