Important Note:
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
The product of this gene transfers fucose to N-acetyllactosamine polysaccharides to generate fucosylated carbohydrate structures. It catalyzes the synthesis of the non-sialylated antigen, Lewis x (CD15). [provided by RefSeq].
Gene References into function
- Strong activation of Ras represents a major pathway for induction of FucT-VII gene expression in T cells.
- induction of FUT (mainly FUT4), the gene expression of which is mediated by signals downstream of caspase 3, increases Le(X) and Le(Y) expression in apoptotic cells
- human FucT-IV and -VII both contribute and cooperate in regulating L-selectin-, P-selectin-, and E-selectin-dependent rolling on PSGL-1, with FucT-VII playing a predominant role in conferring selectin binding activity to PSGL-1
- interaction of sialyl Lewis X antigen with lectin-like receptors on NK cells induces cytotoxicity that is mediated through a tyrosine-phosphorylated 17-kDa protein
- Granzyme treatment increased cell surface FUT4 expression.
- Fucosyltransferase IV overexpression augments Lewis Y expression to trigger neoplastic cell proliferation.
- Expression is frequenty decreased in chronic myelogenous leukemia.
- Suppressing the expression of FUT1/4 by RNAi technology reduces the synthesis of LeY and inhibits cancer growth.
- CD13 was expressed in 73% of acute myeloid leukemia patients, CD15 was expressed in 43% of patients, CD33 was expressed in 64% of patients, and CD34 was expressed in 66% of patients.
- Data show that tumors from a model of medulloblastoma, the Patched mutant mouse, are propagated not by CD133(+) cells but by cells expressing the progenitor markers Math1 and CD15/SSEA-1.
