FucT-IV (alpha 1,3-fucosyltransferase IV), also known as FUT4, FCT3A or ELFT, is a 405 amino acid single-pass type II membrane protein that localizes to Golgi stacks.
During embryogenesis, FucT-IV is highly expressed in skin, liver, kidney, muscle and small intestine where it functions to catalyze the glycosidic attachment of alpha-fucose to various molecules, such as N-acetyllactosamines.
Via its catalytic activity, FucT-IV participates in the synthesis of carbohydrate molecules like the cell-adhesion antigen CD15 (also known as Lewis X), thereby playing a roll in cell cycle events such as apoptosis and cellcell binding.
Overexpression of FucT-IV is implicated in epithelial cancers, suggesting a possible role for FucT-IV in carcinogenesis.
