Synonyms | C21orf80, FUT13, KIAA0958 |
Function | Catalyzes the reaction that attaches fucose through an O- glycosidic linkage to a conserved serine or threonine residue in the consensus sequence C1-X-X-S/T-C2 of thrombospondin type I repeats (TSRs) where C1 and C2 are the first and second cysteines of the repeat, respectively (PubMed:22588082). O-fucosylates members of several protein families including the ADAMTS, the thrombospondin (TSP) and spondin families (Probable) (PubMed:17395588). Required for the proper secretion of ADAMTS family members such as ADAMTSL1 and ADAMTS13 (PubMed:17395589, PubMed:17395588). The O-fucosylation of TSRs is also required for restricting epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), maintaining the correct patterning of mesoderm and localization of the definite endoderm (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum. Golgi apparatus. Note=Mainly located in the endoplasmic reticulum. |
Tissue Location | Isoform A is expressed in fetal liver and peripheral blood lymphocytes. Isoform B is expressed in spleen, lung, testis, bone marrow, thymus, pancreas, prostate, fetal brain, fetal liver and fetal kidney. Isoform C is expressed in brain, heart, spleen, liver, lung, stomach, testis, placenta, skin, thymus, pancreas, mammary gland, prostate, fetal brain, fetal liver and fetal heart |

Background
Fucose is typically found as a terminal modification ofbranched chain glycoconjugates, but it also exists in directO-linkage to serine or threonine residues within cystine knotmotifs in epidermal growth factor (EGF; MIM 131530)-like repeats orthrombospondin (THBS; see MIM 188060) type-1 repeats. POFUT2 is anO-fucosyltransferase that use THBS type-1 repeats as substrates(Luo et al., 2006 [PubMed 16464857]).
