1,6-alpha-L-fucosidase

Class of enzymes 1,6-α-L-Fucosidase 3.2.1.127 102925-35-9 The enzyme 1,6-α-L-fucosidase (3.2.1.127) catalyses the following chemical reaction Hydrolysis of 1,6-linkages between α-L-fucose and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in glycopeptides such as immunoglobulin G glycopeptide and fucosyl-asialo-agalacto-fetuin It belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name is 1,6-L-fucosyl-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminylglycopeptide fucohydrolase. It is also called α-L-fucosidase.
