Mammalian protein found in Homo sapiens
GDP-fucose protein O -fucosyltransferase 2 (POFUT2) is an enzyme responsible for adding fucose sugars in O linkageserine or threonine residues in Thrombospondin repeats.[5] glycosyltransferase , which means that the enzyme uses GDP-β-L-fucose as a donor substrate and transfers the fucose in O linkage to the protein producing fucose-α-O -serine/threonine.
Almost all glycosyltransferases reside in the Golgi apparatus . However, POFUT2 as well as the related enzyme POFUT1 have recently been shown to reside in the endoplasmic reticulum .
