FUT2 Gene Mutations & Your Gut Flora
The FUT2 gene is integral in gut health. FUT2 creates instructions for a process known as fucosylation. Fucosylation involves the addition of a fucose sugar molecule to the micro villi in the intestines. The FUT2 genotypes, termed “non-secretors”, do not secrete their blood type antigens into mucosal fluids, and lack terminal fucose on intestinal micro
