Gene information for FUCA2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2519
Official gene symbolFUCA2
Full namefucosidase, alpha-L- 2, plasma
Aliases,MGC1314,dJ20N2.5,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a plasma alpha-L-fucosidase, which represents 10-20% of the total cellular fucosidase activity. The protein is a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 29 family, and catalyzes the hydrolysis of the alpha-1,6-linked fucose joined to the reducing-end N-acetylglucosamine of the carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins. This enzyme is essential for Helicobacter pylori adhesion to human gastric cancer cells. [provided by RefSeq]
