Alpha-(13)-fucosyltransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FUT7 gene.The sialyl Lewis x oligosaccharide determinant is an essential component of leukocyte counterreceptors for E-selectin- (MIM 131210) and P-selectin- (MIM 173610) mediated adhesions of leukocytes. This oligosaccharide molecule is displayed on the surfaces of granulocytes monocytes and natural killer cells.
