Glycoprotein 6-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9BYC5
GDP-beta-L-fucose + N(4)-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D- mannosyl-(1->3)-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl- (1->6))-beta-D-mannosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-N- acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)asparagine = GDP + N(4)-(N-acetyl-beta-D- glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->3)-(N-acetyl-beta-D- glucosaminyl-(1->2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1->6))-beta-D-mannosyl-(1->4)-N- acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-(alpha-L-fucosyl-(1->6))-N-acetyl-beta- D-glucosaminyl)asparagine.
-!- Catalyzes a reaction similar to that of EC 2.4.1.214, but transfers the L-fucosyl group from GDP-beta-L-fucose to form an alpha-1,6- linkage rather than an alpha-1,3-linkage.
