Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables alpha-(1->6)-fucosyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including N-glycan fucosylation; cell surface receptor signaling pathway; and fibroblast migration. Predicted to be located in Golgi cisterna membrane. Is expressed in telencephalon. Used to study pulmonary emphysema. Orthologous to human FUT8 (fucosyltransferase 8).
