Function
Q3B7D6_RAT OFUT2_CAEEL Catalyzes the reaction that attaches fucose through an O-glycosidic linkage to a conserved serine or threonine residue in the consensus sequence C1-X(2,3)-S/T-C2-X(2)-G of thrombospondin type I repeats (TSRs) where C1 and C2 are the first and second cysteines of the repeat, respectively. O-fucosylates members of several protein families including the ADAMTS superfamily and the thrombosporin (TSP) and spondin families. Required for the proper secretion of ADAMTS family members such as ADAMSL1 and ADAMST13 (By similarity).[1]
