β-D-Fucosidase (EC 3.2.1.38, β-fucosidase) is an enzyme with systematic name β-D-fucoside fucohydrolase.[1][2][3][4][5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing β-D-fucose residues in β-D-fucosides

Enzymes from some sources also hydrolyse β-D-galactosides, β-D-glucosides and α-L-arabinosides.
