Glycolipid fucosyltransferase activities

Different glycolipid fucosyltransferase activities have been reported (32,55,58) to catalyze the addition of fucose to position C-2 of the terminal D-galactose and position C-3 of the internal N-acetylglucosamine of nLcOse4Cer to form blood group H or human tumor-specific lipid (10). Incorporation of fucose into GgOse4Cer was also reported recently by Taki et al.

In addition to a detailed review [22] on two glycolipid fucosyltransferases (FucTs) (Table 1 [33-41]), the following reports on substrate-specificity studies with the cloned enzymes [42, 43], identification, and cloning of new FucT activities from chicken embryos [44], murine [45, 46], Caenorhabditis elegans [47, 48], and parasites...
