General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function FUT8 is the sole enzyme responsible for the N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase GnT I-independent core fucosylation pathway. In a a stable HEK-293S GnT I-/- cell line with either knockdown of FUT8, the erythropoietin produced shows the pure Man5GlcNAc2 glycoform, whereas that produced from the FUT8-overexpressing cell line is fully core-fucosylated oligomannose glycan (Man5GlcNAc2Fuc) Homo sapiens
