O-linked fucose is present in the first epidermal growth factor domain of factor XII but not protein C.
1 Mar 1992
Abstract excerpt
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) domains are found in many proteins, particularly those of the coagulation/fibrinolytic system. We and others have demonstrated that tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and prourokinase are modified by the attachment of fucose to equivalent threonine residues within their EGF domains. Factor XII and protein C each contain two EGF domains; in both proteins, the EGF domain nearest the N...
