Descriptor fucosiltransferasas
Entry term(s) fucosiltransferasa
Scope note: Enzimas que catalizan la transferencia de fucosa de un nucleósido difosfato fucosa a una molécula aceptora que frecuentemente es otro hidrato de carbono, glicoproteína o una molécula de glicolípido. La actividad elevada de algunas fucosiltransferasas en el suero humano puede servir como indicador de malignidad. La clase incluye EC 2.4.1.65; EC 2.4.1.68; EC 2.4.1.69; EC 2.4.1.89.
