Abstract
Using glycoproteins and milk oligosaccharides as substrate acceptors, we demonstrated at leaet two fucosyltransferases in human parotid saliva. One enzyme transferred L-fucose from GDP-fucose to the C-3 position of N-acetylglucosamine or glucose residue of oligosaccharide chains, and the other transferred to the C-4 position of N-acetylglucosamine residue of oligosaccharide chains.
