Fuom Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables L-fucose mutarotase activity and fucose binding activity. Involved in GDP-L-fucose salvage and fucose metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within female mating behavior; fucosylation; and negative regulation of neuron differentiation. Is active in cytosol. Orthologous to human FUOM (fucose mutarotase).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Fuom often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- carbohydrate racemase or epimerase
- fucose binding
- enzyme
- RbsD / FucU transport protein family
