IUBMB Comments

The enzyme, found in animals and plants, is involved in the biosynthesis of O-fucosylated proteins. In EGF domains, the attachment of O-linked fucose to serine or threonine occurs within the sequence Cys-Xaa-Xaa-Gly-Gly-Ser/Thr-Cys. The POFUT3 and POFUT4 proteins modify EMI domains.

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms
