Description

The FCSK (fucose kinase) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.

FCSK (Fucose Kinase) plays a role in the recycling of fucose, a sugar molecule. It takes fucose, released from the breakdown of complex sugars, and converts it into a usable form for the cell.

FCSK is also known as 1110046B12Rik, CDGF2, FUK.
