TAIR Computational Description | L-fucokinase/GDP-L-fucose pyrophosphorylase;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a bifunctional enzyme that has both L-fucokinase and GDP-L-fucose pyrophosphorylase activities. It catalyzes the two steps of the L-fucose salvage pathway for the generation of activated GDP-L-fucose. This pathway seems to be of minor importance for cell wall polysaccharide biosynthesis compared to the de novo GDP-L-fucose biosynthesis pathway in Arabidopsis. |
