High impact information on Fut4

  • Infection of cerebellar astrocytes with viral vectors expressing either Fuc-TIV, or Fuc-TIX, caused dramatic increases in CD15 expression in the presence of continued endogenous SGC epitope expression [1].
  • Comparison of the rFuc-T predicted amino acid sequence with those of previously cloned human and murine fucosyltransferases showed highest degree of homology to murine Fuc-TIV (87% identity) and human Fuc-TIV (78% identity), with lower homology (41-49% identity) to Fuc-TIII, V, VI, and VII [2].
