Fucosyltransferase 2: A Genetic Risk Factor for Intestinal Diseases
18 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
The fucosyltransferase 2 gene ( FUT2 ) mediates the synthesis of histoblood group antigens (HBGA) that occur in vivo from multiple organs, particularly on the surface of intestinal epithelial cells and body fluids. To date, many studies have demonstrated that the interaction of HBGA with the host microbiota is the cause of pathogenesis of intestinal diseases, making FUT2 non-secretor a risk factor for...
