| Function |
Glycosyltransferase that initiates the elongation of O- linked fucose residues attached to EGF-like repeats in the extracellular domain of Notch molecules inhibiting Jagged mediated Notch signaling. Essential mediator of somite segmentation and patterning. During somite boundary formation, it restricts Notch activity in the presomitic mesoderm to a boundary-formig territory in the posterior half of the prospective somite. In this region, Notch function activates a set of genes that are involved in boundary formation and in anterior-posterior somite identity. Ectopically expressed in the thymus, Lfgn inhibits Notch signaling which results in inhibition of T-cell commitment and promotes B- cell development in lymphoid progenitors. May play a role in boundary formation of the enamel knot.
