Preferred Label : Fucosyltransferase 3;
Symbol : FUT3;
CISMeF acronym : FUT3;
Type : Gene and phenotype, combined;
Alternative titles and symbols : Lewis enzyme;
Included titles and symbols : Blood group--lewis system; Les; Le;
Description : The Lewis system involves genetically variable antigens in the body fluids and only
secondarily are the antigens absorbed to red cells. The last step in the biosynthesis
of Lewis antigen, the addition of a fucose to precursor polysaccharides, can be catalyzed
by at least several types of alpha-3-fucosyltransferases: FUT1, or Bombay (211100),
FUT2, or secretor (182100), FUT3, or Lewis, and FUT4, which is the myeloid form of
alpha-3-fucosyltransferase (104230).;
