Summary: Enables alpha-(1->6)-fucosyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in GDP-L-fucose metabolic process; N-glycan fucosylation; and protein N-linked glycosylation via asparagine. Predicted to be located in Golgi cisterna membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic head sensory system; embryonic hindgut; embryonic labial sensory complex; and ganglia. Orthologous to human FUT8 (fucosyltransferase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
