Pofut2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable peptide-O-fucosyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of protein folding and regulation of secretion. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including mesoderm formation; protein O-linked fucosylation; and regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human POFUT2 (protein O-fucosyltransferase 2).

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 rat Pofut2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
