Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - The FUT3 gene is located on chromosome 15q21. - It is a single gene with a predicted protein length of 1,074 amino acids. - The protein contains a signal sequence for N-glycosylation, which is a modification of proteins that can affect their function. - FUT3 is expressed in many cell types, including squamous epithelial cells, nasal mucosa goblet cells, colon epithelial cells, keratinocytes, enterocytes, bronchial goblet cells, epithelial cells of the esophagus, intestine goblet cells, and cerebral cortex GABAergic interneurons. **Pathways and functions:** - FUT3 protein is involved in the synthesis of Lewis blood group antigens. - It is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of Lewis blood group antigens. - The protein is also involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and N-glycans. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in the FUT3 gene can lead to the synthesis of abnormal Lewis blood group antigens, which can cause blood type incompatibility. - These mutations can be associated with Rh-negative disease, a condition in which the body is unable to produce the Rh antigen, which is found on the surface of red blood cells of people with type O blood. - FUT3 mutations are also associated with the condition known as Lewis disease, which is characterized by the presence of Lewis antigens on red blood cells in people of the Lewis blood group.
