Porcine submaxillary gland GDP-L-fucose: beta-D-galactoside alpha-2-L-fucosyltransferase is likely a counterpart of the human Secretor gene-encoded blood group transferase.

Partial amino acid sequence of GDP-L-fucose:beta-D-galactoside alpha-2-L-fucosyltransferase purified from porcine submaxillary glands was determined. Amino acid sequence analysis yielded 100, 93.3, and 84.2%, and 75, 46.6, and 84.2% sequence identity between 12-, 15-, and 19- amino acid tryptic peptides generated from porcine enzyme and amino acid residues 61-72, 111-125, and 308-326 and 89-100, 139-153, and 338-356 of the human Secretor and H type alpha-2-fucosyltransferases, respectively. Higher amino acid sequence homology of the porcine enzyme with the predicted sequence for the human Secretor locus as compared with H gene-encoded blood group beta-D-galactoside alpha-2-L-fucosyltransferase suggests that porcine alpha-2-fucosyltransferase highly corresponds to the human Secretor gene-encoded enzyme.[1]
