Protein attributes

Sequence length	359 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Inferred from homology

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the E-Selectin ligand, sialyl-Lewis X. Catalyzes the transfer of fucose from GDP-beta-fucose to alpha-2,3 sialylated substrates By similarity.
Catalytic activity	GDP-beta-L-fucose + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R = GDP + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-(alpha-L-fucosyl-(1->4))-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-R.
Pathway	Protein modification; protein glycosylation.
Subcellular location	Golgi apparatus › Golgi stack membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein By similarity. Note: Membrane-bound form in trans cisternae of Golgi By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 10 family.
