Fucose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase (FPGT) functions in a salvage pathway to reutilise L-fucose arising from the turnover of glycoproteins and glycolipids in the liver and other tissues. In the second step of the pathway, FPGT catalyses the transfer a guanylyl group from GTP to fucose-1-phosphate (Fu1P) to form GDP-L-fucose (GDP-Fuc), the high energy donor form used by fucosyltransferases in the Golgi to add fucose moieties to growing glycan chains (Quirk & Seley 2005).
