Fucosyltransferase 1 (galactoside 2-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase, H blood group) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a Golgi stack membrane protein that is involved in the creation of a precursor of the H antigen, which is required for the final step in the soluble A and B antigen synthesis pathway. This gene is one of two encoding the galactoside 2-L-fucosyltransferase enzyme. Mutations in this gene are a cause of the H-Bombay blood group. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
