Abstract excerpt
The major alpha3-fucosyltransferase activity in human plasma is encoded by the gene for fucosyltransferase VI (FUT6). A missense mutation (Gly-739 --> Ala) in this gene is responsible for deficiency of enzyme activity in plasma. To examine whether this fucosyltransferase is the sole enzyme respon...
