Background Information

FUT4, also named as ELFT and FCT3A, belongs to the glycosyltransferase 10 family. FUT4 may catalyze alpha-1,3 glycosidic linkages involved in the expression of Lewis X/SSEA-1 and VIM-2 antigens. The expression of CD15 (acts as a terminal glycotope in glycoproteins and glycolipids) is directed by FUT4 in promyelocytes and monocytes. FUT4 is an antigenic epitope defined as a Lewis X carbohydrate structure is expressed on murine embryonal carcinoma cells (EC), murine ES and iPS cells, and murine and human germ cells. It is widely used as a positive surface marker for mouse undifferentiated ES and iPS cells and a negative surface marker for human undifferentiated ES and iPS cells. Expression is down-regulated following differentiation of murine EC and ES cells, while the differentiation of human EC and ES cells is accompanied by an increase in FUT4 expression. FUT4 is associated with cell adhesion, migration and differentiation. 22141-1-AP detects the band around 45 kDa and glycosylated isoform 63 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE.
