Application

4-Methylumbelliferyl α-L-fucopyranoside has been used:
  • as a substrate in α-L-fucosidase 1 (α-L-FUCA-1) enzyme assays to convert it to the fluorescent product 4-methylumbelliferone (4MU) for finding the distribution of the membrane-associated α-L-FUCA-1 of human sperm
  • as a fluorogenic substrate in enzyme assays to evaluate the stability of both the seminal plasma and membrane-associated α-l-fucosidase
  • as a substrate to measure the enzymatic activity of α-L-FUCA-1 of cell extracts from TPC-1, BCPAP, 8505C, and CAL62 cell lines

Glycoconjugate journal, 10(6), 447-452 (1993-12-01)
The behaviour of a highly purified alpha-L-fucosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.51) extracted from octopus hepatopancreas was studied with phospholipid vesicles composed of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS) containing the fucosylated ganglioside FucGM1, a potential natural substrate of the enzyme. The substrate recognition

Molecular reproduction and development, 74(6), 758-766 (2006-11-30)
Two distinctive isoforms of the enzyme alpha-L-fucosidase are found within human semen in substantial amounts, suggesting specialized functions during reproduction. The membrane-associated isozyme of human sperm cells was previously characterized biochemically, and here we report on its subcellular localization. Intact

International journal of andrology, 32(5), 556-562 (2008-06-05)
Previous reports from this laboratory documented the existence of two novel isoforms of alpha-L-fucosidase in human semen and showed that membrane-associated alpha-L-fucosidase is cryptically held within the acrosomal compartment and enriched within the sperm equatorial segment. The occurrence of these

alpha-L-Fucosidase, prepared in highly purified form (Mr 70 000-74 000) from Octopus hepatopancreas, was able to hydrolyse a fucose-containing ganglioside, namely Fuc-GM1 (II3NeuAc,IV2Fuc-GgOse4-Cer). The enzyme showed an irregular kinetic behaviour (v/[S] and v/[E] relationships following sigmoidal curves) when working on

Glycans containing α-L-fucose participate in diverse interactions between cells and extracellular matrix. High glycan expression on cell surface is often associated with neoplastic progression. The lysosomal exoenzyme, α-L-fucosidase-1 (FUCA-1) removes fucose residues from glycans. The FUCA-1 gene is down-regulated in
