FUT7

FUT7 encodes the protein fucosyltransferase 7. It has no widely - recognized common aliases. This protein adds fucose residues to specific glycan structures, which is crucial for the binding of lymphocytes to endothelial cells during the inflammatory response. It is mainly involved in the selectin - mediated signaling pathway.
Dysregulation of FUT7 is associated with several inflammatory diseases and certain types of cancers. In drug development, researchers are exploring inhibitors targeting FUT7 to modulate the inflammatory process. However, as of now, there isn't a well - established drug on the market specifically for this protein.
