Alpha-(1,3)-fucosyltransferase 3 (FucT-III; Galactoside 3(4)-L-fucosyltransferase) is highly expressed in the small intestine, colon, stomach, and kidney. It is a member of the glycosyltransferase family of proteins which are involved in a glycosylation pathway that attaches fucose to Lewis epitopes of target molecules. This type of post-translational modification allows modified (fucosylated) molecules to recognize specific target substrates. Fucosyltransferases may therefore play an important role in communication at the cell surface. FucT-III may play a role in blood group determination as it is involved in the expression of antigens such as Lewis B, sialy Lewis X, Vim-2, and Lewis A.

~50 kDa observed. The calculated molecular weight of this protein is 42 kDa, but can be observed at ~50 kDa due to high glycosylation. (Christensen, L, et al. (2000). Glycobiology. 10(9):931-939.)
