This enzyme is the product of the Lewis blood group gene. Normally acts on a glycoconjugate where R (see reaction) is a glycoprotein or glycolipid. Although it is a 4-fucosyltransferase, it has a persistent 3-fucosyltransferase activity towards the glucose residue in free lactose. This enzyme fucosylates on O-4 of an N-acetylglucosamine that carries a galactosyl group on O-3, unlike EC 2.4.1.152, 4-galactosyl-N-acetylglucosaminide 3-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase, which fucosylates on O-3 of an N-acetylglucosamine that carries a galactosyl group on O-4. Enzymes catalysing the 4-alpha-fucosylation of the GlcNAc in beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-GlcNAc sequences (with some activity also as 3-alpha-fucosyltransferases) are present in plants, where the function in vivo is the modification of N-glycans. In addition, the fucTa gene of Helicobacter strain UA948 encodes a fucosyltransferase with both 3-alpha- and 4-alpha-fucosyltransferase activities.

the enzyme may catalyze alpha-1,3 and alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkages involved in expression of sialyl Lewis X and Lewis X/SSEA-1 antigens. It may be involved in blood group Lewis determination
