Its function has been unrecognized despite partial structural and genetic characterization. Recently, on the basis of partial amino acid sequence, it proved to be the human homolog of the murine protein P35B, a tumor rejection antigen. In order to address the biochemical role of FX, its primary structure was completed by cDNA sequencing. This sequence revealed a significant homology with many proteins from different organisms.

Accordingly, a possible role of FX in this metabolism was investigated. The data obtained indicate FX as the enzyme responsible for the last step of the major metabolic pathway resulting in GDP-L-fucose synthesis from GDP-D-mannose in procaryotic and eucaryotic cells. Specifically, purified FX apparently catalyzes a combined epimerase and NADPH-dependent reductase reaction, converting GDP-4-keto-6-D-deoxymannose to GDP-L-fucose.
