Summary
This gene encodes a member of the glycosyltransferase O-Fuc family. This enzyme adds O-fucose through an O-glycosidic linkage to conserved serine or threonine residues in the epidermal growth factor-like repeats of a number of cell surface and secreted proteins. O-fucose glycans are involved in ligand-induced receptor signaling. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

  7. PLAGL2 and POFUT1 were common and upregulated in tumor samples in colorectal cancer (CRC). Survival analysis of PLAGL2 and POFUT1 expression revealed differences between proximal and distal CRC.

  10. we revealed that poFUT1 was increased in the secretory phase compared to the proliferative phase. Meanwhile, poFUT1 was expressed at lower levels in the uterine endometrium of miscarriage patients than that in normal early pregnancies.

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.
