Description
Product Characteristics:
Alpha-L-fucosidase is responsible for hydrolyzing the alpha-1,6-linked fucose joined to the reducing-end N-acetylglucosamine of the carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: dJ20N2.5, Plasma alpha-L-fucosidase, Alpha-L-fucoside fucohydrolase 2, Alpha-L-fucosidase 2, FUCA2, PSEC0151, UNQ227/PRO260
Target Information: This gene encodes a plasma alpha-L-fucosidase, which represents 10-20% of the total cellular fucosidase activity. The protein is a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 29 family, and catalyzes the hydrolysis of the alpha-1,6-linked fucose joined to the reducing-end N-acetylglucosamine of the carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins. This enzyme is essential for Helicobacter pylori adhesion to human gastric cancer cells. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
