1,6-alpha-L-fucosidase

The enzyme 1,6-α- L -fucosidase 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.
