Activity summary

The protein known as 'alpha-L-fucosidase' or more commonly 'FUCA1' works as an enzyme breaking down complex carbohydrates by removing terminal alpha-L-fucose residues. This enzyme weighs approximately 51 kDa. It mainly expresses in tissues such as the liver pancreas and kidney playing a role in glycoprotein metabolism. Sometimes researchers refer to it simply as 'fucosidase' reflecting its central activity in fucose metabolism.

Biological function summary

FUCA1 impacts various cellular functions through its role in glycan processing. This enzyme is not typically part of a larger complex working independently to hydrolyze glycosidic bonds. Its action is important in the catabolism of fucosylated glycoproteins and glycolipids influencing cell signaling and recognition. Alterations in FUCA1 activity can disrupt these processes affecting cellular homeostasis.

Pathways

FUCA1 plays a role in the metabolism of glycosaminoglycans and glycoproteins. It contributes to the lysosomal degradation pathway alongside related enzymes such as beta-galactosidase. FUCA1's activity ensures the correct recycling of glycoproteins maintaining the balance of cellular components. The defect or overactivity of FUCA1 may have cascading effects throughout these pathways linking it with potential metabolic imbalances.

Associated diseases and disorders

FUCA1 connects closely with fucosidosis a lysosomal storage disorder caused by FUCA1 deficiency. This leads to an accumulation of fucose-containing compounds resulting in progressive neurological decline. Additionally some studies suggest a link between altered FUCA1 expression and certain cancers due to its role in cellular recognition and signaling. In cancer this enzyme's interaction with other glycoprotein-processing enzymes becomes highlighted highlighting the complex interplay within disease contexts.
