Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables galactoside 2-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase activity. Involved in fucosylation; glycolipid metabolic process; and oligosaccharide biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within protein glycosylation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in ileum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in vitamin B12 deficiency. Orthologous to human FUT2 (fucosyltransferase 2 (H blood group)).
