Gene data
FUT1- Name
- fucosyltransferase 1 (H blood group)
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- H, HH, HSC
This gene encodes a Golgi stack membrane protein that is involved in the creation of a precursor of the H antigen, which is required for the final step in the synthesis of soluble A and B antigens. This is one of two genes encoding the galactoside 2-L-fucosyltransferase enzyme. Mutations in this gene are a cause of the H-Bombay blood group. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016].
