POFUT1 blocking peptide
POFUT1 Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the glycosyltransferase O-Fuc family. This enzyme adds O-fucose through an O-glycosidic linkage to conserved serine or threonine residues in the epidermal growth factor-like repeats of a number of cell surface and secreted proteins. O-fucose glycans are involved in ligand-induced receptor signaling. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
POFUT1: Catalyzes the reaction that attaches fucose through an O-glycosidic linkage to a conserved serine or threonine residue in EGF domains. Plays a crucial role in Notch signaling. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 68 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
