Summary: Enables alpha-(1->3)-fucosyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including leukocyte migration involved in inflammatory response; lymphocyte migration into lymph node; and regulation of leukocyte migration. Acts upstream of or within CD4-positive, CD25-positive, alpha-beta regulatory T cell differentiation; T cell migration; and leukocyte migration involved in immune response. Predicted to be located in trans-Golgi network. Orthologous to human FUT7 (fucosyltransferase 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
