Biochem/physiol Actions

FUCA1 gene encodes a lysosomal enzyme, α-L-fucosidase mapped on to chromosome 1 at position 1p34.1-1p36. α-L-fucosidase plays a crucial role in hydrolyzing the fucose-containing glycoproteins and glycolipids. Presence of α-L-fucosidase in preoperative serum serves as a prognostic indicator for hepatocellular carcinoma. Mutation in FUCA1 gene leads to fucosidosis, an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: PSPVSWNWNSKDVGPHRDLVGELGTALRKRNIRYGLYHSLLEWFHPLYLL

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Human alpha-L-fucosidase is a lysosomal enzyme responsible for hydrolysis of alpha-L-fucoside linkages in fucoglycoconjugates. A single gene, FUCA 1, located on chromosome 1p34.1-1p36.1 encodes for alpha-L-fucosidase activity. To gain insight into the nature of the molecular defects leading to fucosidosis

Preoperative alpha-L-fucosidase (AFU) has been used as a diagnostic biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its role as a prognostic predictor after partial hepatectomy has not been well defined. The study aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of preoperative serum

Targeted proteomics focusing on post-translational modifications, including glycosylation, is a useful strategy for discovering novel biomarkers. To apply this strategy effectively to cardiac hypertrophy and resultant heart failure, we aimed to characterize glycosylation profiles in the left ventricle and plasma

Fucose residues of cell surface glycans, which play important roles in growth, invasion and metastasis, are added by fucosyltransferases (FUTs) and removed by α-L-fucosidases (FUCAs). By the differential display method, we isolated a 3' non-coding region of α-L-fucosidase-1 (FUCA1) (a gene

Fucosidosis is a rare, autosomal recessive, lysosomal storage disease, resulting from a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-fucosidase (EC 3.2.1.51). It is characterised clinically by progressive mental and motor deterioration, growth retardation, coarse facies, and often recurrent infections, but the course
