FUT1, Official Symbol FUT1provided by HGNC Official Full Name fucosyltransferase 1 (H blood group)provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:4012 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000174951 MIM:211100; AllianceGenome:HGNC:4012 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as H; HH; HSC Summary This gene encodes a Golgi stack membrane protein that is involved in the creation of a precursor of the H antigen, which is required for the final step in the synthesis of soluble A and B antigens. This is one of two genes encoding the galactoside 2-L-fucosyltransferase enzyme. Mutations in this gene are a cause of the H-Bombay blood group.
