Anti-Human FUT6 Polyclonal Antibody (ARO-A11533)

Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet or the lot-specific COA.

4-galactosyl-N-acetylglucosaminide 3-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase FUT6 is a ~41 kDa protein. Catalyzes the transfer of L-fucose, from a guanosine diphosphate-beta-L-fucose, to the N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) of a distal alpha2,3 sialylated lactosamine unit of a glycoprotein- or a glycolipid-linked sialopolylactosamines chain or of a distal or internal lactosamine unit of a neutral glycoprotein- or a glycolipid-linked polylactosamines chain through an alpha-1,3 glycosidic linkage and participates in surface expression of the sialyl Lewis X (sLe(x)), Lewis X (Le(x)) and non sialylated VIM2 determinants. Moreover transfers fucose to H-type 2 (Fucalpha1-2Galbeta1-4GlcNAc) chain acceptor substrates and participates in difucosylated sialyl Lewis x determinants. Also fucosylates a polylactosamine substrate having a 6 sulfate modification at the GlcNAc moiety and gives rise to sialyl and non-sialyl 6-sulfo lewis X. Does not have activity towards type 1 ((Galbeta1-3GlcNAc)) and H-type 1 chain (Fucalpha1-2Galbeta1-3GlcNAc) acceptors substrates.
