MSH: Enzymes catalyzing the transfer of fucose from a nucleoside diphosphate fucose to an acceptor molecule which is frequently another carbohydrate, a glycoprotein, or a glycolipid molecule. Elevated activity of some fucosyltransferases in human serum may serve as an indicator of malignancy. The class includes EC 2.4.1.65; EC 2.4.1.68; EC 2.4.1.69; EC 2.4.1.89.,NCI: Belongs to the family of EC 2.4.1 glycosyltransferases. The enzyme catalyzes the transfer o f fucose molecule from dinucleotide compound to another carbohydrate compound.
