The enzyme 1,3-α-L-fucosidase (EC 3.2.1.111) catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of the 1,3-linkages between α-L-fucose and N-acetylglucosamine residues in glycoproteins.
It belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-α-L-fucosyl-N-acetylglucosaminyl-glycoprotein fucohydrolase. This enzyme is also called almond emulsin fucosidase I. It participates in the degradation of glycan structures.
