Although core α1,6-fucosylation is commonly observed in N-glycans of both vertebrates and invertebrates, the responsible enzyme, α1,6-fucosyltransferase, has been much less characterized in invertebrates compared to vertebrates. To investigate the functions of α1,6-fucosyltransferase in insects, we cloned the cDNA for
