The FUT3 protein also known as fucosyltransferase 3 plays an important role in catalyzing the addition of fucose a type of sugar to precursor carbohydrates. This process is essential for the synthesis of Lewis blood group antigens. The molecular mass of FUT3 is approximately 43 kDa. It is mainly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract and liver though its presence is also noted in other tissues to a lesser extent.
Biological function summary
FUT3 contributes to the formation of fucosylated oligosaccharide structures on glycoproteins and glycolipids. It is not strictly part of a multi-protein complex but works closely intertwined with other glycosyltransferases for effective oligosaccharide biosynthesis. FUT3's activity influences cell-cell recognition and signaling processes by modifying cell surface carbohydrate structures.
Pathways
FUT3 is heavily involved in glycosphingolipid biosynthesis and the metabolic pathway of glycan structures. FUT3 works together with other fucosyltransferases such as FUT1 and FUT2 in these pathways dictating the structural diversity and functionality of various glycoconjugates. These pathways are important for cellular interactions and communication impacting blood group antigen expression.
Mutations or altered expression of FUT3 have connections with certain cancers and leukocyte adhesion deficiencies. In specific colorectal and gastric cancers changes in FUT3 expression levels correlate with tumor progression and metastasis. FUT3 also interacts with proteins like E-selectin in immune-related disorders affecting leukocyte extravasation and inflammation processes.
