General description

α-L-fucosidases is a liposomal enzyme, which belongs to glycosyl hydrolases family.

Application

α-L-fucosidase from bovine kidney has been used:
  • to study their ability to alter primary cell transduction
  • to examine the role of fucose residues of cell surface glycans in adhesion
  • to investigate its role during fertilization

Biochem/physiol Actions

α-L-fucosidases degrades fucose-containing fucoglycoconjugates and breaks fucosidic bonds in oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. It acts as a tumor marker for hepatic and colorectal cancer. α-L-fucosidase exhibits transglycosylation property.

Physical form

Suspension in 3.2 M (NH4)2SO4, 10 mM NaH2PO4 10 mM citrate, pH 6.0

Other Notes

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of p-nitrophenyl α-L-fucoside to p-nitrophenol and L-fucose per min at pH 5.5 at 25°C.
