Analysis of L1 Cell Adhesion Molecule and Fucosyltransferase 8 Expression in Cells After Stretch and Human EACSCC Tissue. [PDF]
Background: External auditory canal (EAC) squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is classified as a rare cancer and has a poor prognosis at advanced stages. Mechanical stress has been implicated in external auditory canal squamous cell carcinoma (EACSCC), but the

Fucosyltransferase 8 is Overexpressed and Influences Clinical Outcomes in Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients. [PDF]
Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the most prevalent type of lung cancer, is often metastatic and has a poor prognosis. Recent studies have demonstrated an important role for fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) in carcinogenesis and cancer progression.Methods: A meta-analysis with 15 eligible datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) was performed to ...

Structural basis of substrate recognition and catalysis by fucosyltransferase 8. [PDF]
Abstract Fucosylation of the inner-most N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc) of N-glycans by fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) is an important step in the maturation of complex and hybrid N-glycans. This simple modification can have a dramatic impact on the activity and half-life of glycoproteins.

Fucosyltransferase 8 regulation and breast cancer suppression by transcription factor activator protein 2γ. [PDF]
AbstractAlterations of glycosyltransferase expression are often associated with tumor occurrence and progression. Among the many glycosyltransferases, increased expression of fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) has been frequently observed to be involved in progression and metastasis of various types of cancer.

A genetic variation in fucosyltransferase 8 accelerates HIV-1 disease progression indicating a role for N-glycan fucosylation. [PDF]
Objectives: Core fucosylation by fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) is an important posttranslational modification that impacts components of the immune system. Genetic variations in FUT8 can alter its function and could, therefore, play a role in the antiviral immune response and pathogenesis of HIV-1.

FUT8 Alpha-(1,6)-Fucosyltransferase in Cancer [PDF]
Aberrant glycosylation is a universal feature of cancer cells that can impact all steps in tumour progression from malignant transformation to metastasis and immune evasion. One key change in tumour glycosylation is altered core fucosylation.
