Alpha-(16)-fucosyltransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FUT8 gene.This enzyme belongs to the family of fucosyltransferases. The product of this gene catalyzes the transfer of fucose from GDP-fucose to N-linked type complex glycopeptides. This enzyme is distinct from other fucosyltransferases which catalyze alpha1-2 alpha1-3 and alpha1-4 fucose addition.
