Description

Fucosyltransferase 4 (FUT4) is a Golgi-associated glycosyltransferase enzyme involved in biosynthesis of Lewis X (Lex/CD15) carbohydrate antigens through alpha-1,3-fucosylation of glycoconjugates and glycolipids. FUT4 participates in leukocyte-associated glycosylation pathways, cell adhesion biology, inflammatory signaling, developmental differentiation, and selectin-mediated cellular interaction networks. FUT4 Antibody is useful for investigations involving carbohydrate antigen biosynthesis, leukocyte differentiation, developmental glycobiology, and tumor-associated glycosylation regulation.

FUT4 antibody, also referred to as Fucosyltransferase 4 antibody, Lewis X biosynthesis enzyme antibody, and CD15 biosynthesis antibody in the literature, recognizes a glycosyltransferase encoded on chromosome 11q21. FUT4 localizes predominantly to Golgi-associated secretory compartments where it catalyzes formation of Lewis X-associated carbohydrate epitopes involved in leukocyte adhesion, developmental signaling, and immune-associated cell surface organization. FUT4 expression contributes directly to biosynthesis of CD15/Lewis X glycoconjugates expressed on hematopoietic, epithelial, and developmental cellular populations.

FUT4 Antibody / Lewis X Biosynthesis Enzyme Antibody (clone FR4A5) is uniquely positioned for studies involving developmental glycobiology and leukocyte-associated carbohydrate antigen biosynthesis pathways. This mouse monoclonal antibody supports detection of FUT4-associated glycosylation machinery involved in generation of Lewis X/CD15 carbohydrate determinants. Clone FR4A5 may be useful for investigations examining developmental differentiation, immune-associated glycosylation regulation, selectin ligand formation, and lineage-associated glycoconjugate organization.

FUT4-mediated glycosylation contributes to leukocyte rolling, inflammatory recruitment, embryonic development, stem cell differentiation, and epithelial-associated cell adhesion pathways. Altered FUT4 expression has been associated with hematopoietic differentiation status, inflammatory signaling activity, tumor-associated glycosylation remodeling, and cancer progression-associated carbohydrate antigen regulation. Because FUT4 is centrally involved in biosynthesis of Lewis X and CD15-associated carbohydrate structures, it serves as a useful marker for investigations involving glycoconjugate-mediated cellular signaling and developmental lineage specification.

In tissue-based and fluorescence-based detection systems, FUT4-associated expression patterns commonly correlate with cell surface-associated Lewis X/CD15 carbohydrate antigen organization and glycosylation-associated secretory activity. FUT4-dependent glycans additionally participate in selectin-mediated adhesion pathways and immune-associated cellular trafficking mechanisms. The biologic overlap between FUT4, CD15, Lewis X, and SSEA-1-associated carbohydrate epitopes supports broad utility in investigations involving developmental differentiation and leukocyte-associated glycobiology.

This FUT4 Antibody supports research involving Lewis X biosynthesis, developmental glycobiology, leukocyte differentiation pathways, carbohydrate antigen regulation, selectin-mediated adhesion biology, immune-associated glycosylation pathways, and tumor-associated glycoconjugate organization. Clone FR4A5 may be incorporated into tissue-based and cellular investigations examining FUT4-associated glycosylation networks and Lewis X/CD15 carbohydrate antigen biosynthesis in normal and diseased tissues.
