1,6-alpha-L-fucosidase

The enzyme 1,6-ÃÂ±-L-fucosidase () catalyses the following chemical reaction

Hydrolysis of 1,6-linkages between ÃÂ±-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 ÃÂ±-L-fucosidase.
