Activated p53 with Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor Enhances L-Fucose-Mediated Drug Delivery through Induction of Fucosyltransferase 8 Expression in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The prognosis of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is dismal, underscoring the need for novel effective treatments. The α1,6-fucosyltransferase (fucosyltransferase 8, FUT8) has been reported to accelerate malignant potential in HCC. Our study aimed

Pathogenic Variants in Fucokinase Cause a Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation [PDF]
, 2018 FUK encodes fucokinase, the only enzyme capable of converting L-fucose to fucose-1-phosphate, which will ultimately be used for synthesizing GDP-fucose, the donor substrate for all fucosyltransferases.

Association of fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) polymorphism Thr267Lys with pulmonary emphysema [PDF]
Journal of Human Genetics, 2011 The fucosyltransferase 8 gene (FUT8) encodes an enzyme that transfers fucose to the innermost N-acetylglucosamine unit of N-glycan chains. Recent study showed that fut8-deficient mice develop pathological and physiological phenotypes resembling pulmonary emphysema (PE). The role of FUT8 in human PE is not known.

Plasticity of lifelong calorie-restricted C57BL/6J mice in adapting to a medium-fat diet intervention at old age [PDF]
, 2018 Calorie restriction (CR) is a dietary regimen that supports healthy aging. In this study we investigated the systemic and liver-specific responses caused by a diet switch to a medium-fat (MF) diet in 24-month-old life-long, CR-exposed mice.
