FUT6 deficiency compromises basophil function by selectively abrogating their sialyl-Lewis x expression

Puan and San Luis et al. find that FUT6, encoding a fucosyltransferase, is required for the “rolling” behavior of certain white blood cells that enables them to move from blood vessels to tissues.
