GlycoEnzDB
Comprehensive glycoEnzyme database and dynamic pathway generation

Description: The GlycoEnzDB is a manually curated glycoEnzyme database, primarily focused on humans. It covers 390 enzymes across 28 pathway maps. Facilities are also available to create custom glycosylation reaction pathways using experimental data in SBML format and for pathway simulation

About

• FUT3 exhibits broad specificity synthesizing all Lewis antigens, Lea, Leb, LeX, LeY, sialyl Lea (sLea), and sLeX. Lea and Leb are histo-blood group antigens which are present not only on erythrocytes but also in gastrointestinal, pancreatic, and other tissues in the body.
• FUT3 α1-4-fucosyltransferase activity creates Lewis-a and Lewis-b on Type I (Galβ3GlcNAc, its preferred substrate) by transferring fucose to GlcNAc on either Type I chain (to make Lewis-a) or on H-antigen formed on Type I chain (to make Lewis-b). It is the only enzyme making Lea, Leb, and sLea in vivo, since FUT5 is a silent enzyme that is not expressed in any tissue.
• FUT3 can also act on Type II (Galβ4GlcNAc) lactosamine chains to create LewisX, LewisY and sialyl Lewis-X type structures.
• FUT3 also forms the stage-specific embryonal antigen-1 (SSEA-1) in humans.
• FUT3, FUT4, FUT5, and FUT6 exhibit similar specificity for preferential fucose transfer to the inner GlcNAc on polylactosamine chains. FUT9 prefers the terminal modifications to create terminal LeX.
• The sequence of FUT3 is similar to that of FUT5 and FUT6.
• Mouse do not express FUT3 and thus are devoid of Lea Leb type structures. Mouse SSEA-1 is created by FUT9 instead of FUT3.
• FUT3 is widely expressed in epithelial cells of the digestive tract, including salivary gland, mammary gland, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, small intestine, colon, and rectum. FUT3 is not expressed in hematopoietic cells. Lea- and Leb-active glycolipid antigens on erythrocytes are not synthesized by erythrocytes themselves and are probably synthesized elsewhere in the digestive organs by FUT3; and then absorbed by RBCs.
• CA19-9, tumor biomarker, recognizes the sLea epitope on mucins. Individuals who are FUT3 negative will not express this biomarker.
• Similarly, the expression of DU-PAN-2 is also dependent on the activity of genes forming sLec.
