Guanylyltransferase enzymes transfer one molecule of GTP to another molecule and also function in the transfer of guanosine nucleotides to sugar molecules. The carbohydrate moieties that are generated are covalently attached to cell surfaces and are necessary to ensure a surface contour that satisfies a variety of physiological roles. L-fucose is an important sugar in complex carbohydrates that is frequently found on plant and mammalian N-linked glycans. FPGT (Fucose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase), also known as GFPP (GDP-L-fucose pyrophosphorylase), is a 594 amino acid cytoplasmic protein that catalyzes the formation of GDP-L-fucose from L-fucose-1-phosphate and GTP. FPGT functions to reutilize the L-fucose that is produced uopn glycoprotein and glycolipid turnover.

Epoxy-activated Sepharose™ 6B is a pre-activated medium for immobilisation of various ligands including sugars through coupling of hydroxy, amino or thiol groups on the ligand to Sepharose™ 6B via a 12-atom hydrophilic spacer arm. Medium is formed by reacting Sepharose™ 6B with 1,4-bis (2,3- epoxy-propoxy-) butane. It can be used to couple sugars and other carbohydrates via stable ether linkages to hydroxyl groups.

Glycosyltransferases that mediate the regio- and stereoselective transfer of sugars, such as the fucosyltransferases, determine cell surface-carbohydrate profiles, which are essential interfaces for biological recognition processes. Fucosyltransferases (FucTs) catalyze the covalent association of fucose to different positional linkages on sugar acceptor molecules. The carbohydrate moieties that are generated are covalently attached to cell surfaces and are necessary to ensure a surface contour that satisfies a variety of physiological roles. FucT-XI is a 492 amino acid single-pass type II membrane protein that belongs to the glycosyltransferase 10 family. Localizing to Golgi apparatus, FucT-XI may act as a fucosyltransferase and exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms. The gene encoding FucT-XI maps to mouse chromosome 14 A3.

D-myo-Inositol is a growth factor for animals as well as microorganisms. Myo-Inositol is the most abundant form of polyols that serves as a structural element of secondary messengers in eukaryotic cells. Inositol or cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol is a chemical compound, a sixfold alcohol (polyol) of cyclohexane. It exists in nine possible stereoisomers, of which the most prominent form, widely occurring in nature, is cis-1,2,3,5-trans-4,6-cyclohexanehexol, or myo-inositol (former name meso-inositol). Inositol is a carbohydrate, though not a classical sugar. It has a taste which has been assayed at half the sweetness of table sugar (sucrose).

This gene is a member of the beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase (beta3GalT) gene family. This family encodes type II membrane-bound glycoproteins with diverse enzymatic functions using different donor substrates (UDP-galactose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine) and different acceptor sugars (N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine). The beta3GalT genes are distantly related to the Drosophila Brainiac gene and have the protein coding sequence contained in a single exon. The beta3GalT proteins also contain conserved sequences not found in the beta4GalT or alpha3GalT proteins. The carbohydrate chains synthesized by these enzymes are designated as type 1, whereas beta4GalT enzymes synthesize type 2 carbohydrate chains. The ratio of type 1:type 2 chains changes during embryogenesis. By sequence similarity, the beta3GalT genes fall into at least two groups: beta3GalT4 and 4 other beta3GalT genes (beta3GalT1-3, beta3GalT5). The encoded protein of this gene does not use N-acetylglucosamine as an acceptor sugar at all. Multiple transcript variants that are alternatively spliced in the 5' UTR have been described; they all encode the same protein.
