O-FucT-2 rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse

Backgroud: Fucose is typically found as a terminal modification of branched chain glycoconjugates, but it also exists in direct O-linkage to serine or threonine residues within cystine knot motifs in epidermal growth factor (EGF; MIM 131530)-like repeats or thrombospondin (THBS; see MIM 188060) type-1 repeats. POFUT2 is an O-fucosyltransferase that use THBS type-1 repeats as substrates (Luo et al., 2006 [PubMed 16464857]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],catalytic activity:Transfers an alpha-L-fucosyl residue from GDP-beta-L-fucose to the serine hydroxy group of a protein acceptor.,function:Catalyzes the reaction that attaches fucose through an O-glycosidic linkage to a conserved serine or threonine residue in thrombospondin type 1 repeats.,online information:GlycoGene database,online information:Peptide-O-fucosyltransferase 2,pathway:Protein modification; protein glycosylation.,similarity:Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 68 family.,tissue specificity:Isoform A is expressed in fetal liver and peripheral blood lymphocytes. Isoform B is expressed in spleen, lung, testis, bone marrow, thymus, pancreas, prostate, fetal brain, fetal liver and fetal kidney. Isoform C is expressed in brain, heart, spleen, liver, lung, stomach, testis, placenta, skin, thymus, pancreas, mammary gland, prostate, fetal brain, fetal liver and fetal heart.,
