Widespread Gene Conversion of Alpha-2-Fucosyltransferase Genes in Mammals
The alpha-2-fucosyltransferases (α2FTs) are enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of α2fucosylated glycan structures. In mammalian genomes, there are three α2FT genes located in tandem—FUT1, FUT2, and Sec1—each contained within a single exon. It has been suggested that these genes originated from two...
