Synthesis of soluble A, B, H, and Lewis b blood group antigens in humans is determined by
the Secretor (Se)(FUT2) blood group locus. Genetic, biochemical, and molecular analyses
indicate that this locus corresponds to an α (1, 2) fucosyltransferase gene distinct from the
genetically-linked H blood group α (1, 2) fucosyltransferase locus. The accompanying paper
(Rouquier, S., Lowe, JB, Kelly, RJ, Fertitta, AL, Lennon, GG, and Giorgi, D.(1995) J. Biol.
Chem. 270, 4632-4639) describes the molecular cloning and mapping of two human DNA …
