Background

FUT8 (Fucosyltransferase 8; also alpha 1,6 Fucosyltransferase) is a 60‑65 kDa member of the glycosyltransferase 23 family of enzymes. It catalyzes the addition of fucose to Asn-linked GlcNAc via an alpha 1,6 linkage. FUT8 is widely expressed, and the effects of its fucosylation vary. A lack of fucosylation on IgG potentiates ADCC activity, while an absence of fucose on the EGF R and alpha 3 beta 1 integrin decreases their activity. Human FUT8 is a type II transmembrane protein 575 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a short cytoplasmic region (aa 1‑9) plus an extended luminal domain (aa 31‑575) that possesses one SH3 homology domain (aa 502‑563). There are at least four potential splice variants. There is an alternate start site at Met479, a 14 aa substitution for aa 1‑420, a 32 aa substitution for aa 1‑161, and a two aa substitution for aa 444‑575. Over aa 32‑575, human FUT8 shares 97% aa identity with mouse FUT8.
