The enzyme 1,6-α-L-fucosidase (EC 3.2.1.127) 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.
