In enzymology, a 3-galactosyl-N-acetylglucosaminide 4-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.65) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- GDP-beta-L-fucose + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R GDP + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-[alpha-L-fucosyl-(1->4)]-N-acetyl-beta-D- glucosaminyl-R
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are GDP-beta-L-fucose and [[beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R]], whereas its 3 products are GDP, [[beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-[alpha-L-fucosyl-(1->4)]-N-acetyl-beta-D-]], and glucosaminyl-R.
This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways: glycosphingolipid biosynthesis - lactoseries, glycosphingolipid biosynthesis - neo-lactoseries, and glycan structures - biosynthesis 2.
Nomenclature[edit]
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is GDP-L-fucose:3-beta-D-galactosyl-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R 4I-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include:
