Fucosyltransferase/fucosyl transferase

This class of enzymes includes galactoside 3(4)-L-fucosyl-transferase, [EC 2.4.1.65] glycoprotein 6-a-L-fucosyl-transferase [EC 2.4.1.68], galactoside 2-ce-L-fucosyltran-sferase [EC 2.4.1.69], and galactoside 3-fucosyltransferase [EC 2.4.1.152]. 

The original nomenclature for the various isoforms of fucosyltransferases, based upon the order in which the genes were isolated, was established by Pamela Stanley [1] and further extended by John Lowe. FucT I and II were used to designate fucosyltransferases activities found in the lectin-resistant CHO cell lines LECH and LEC12 the next five fucosyltransferases identified were human a3,4-fucosyl-transferases whose genes have been cloned (FucT III to VII) [2-8].
