Background

Fucosylated glycoconjugates play numerous roles in biological processes, such as development, apoptosis and the immune responses, and are involved in the pathology of inflammation, cancer and cystic fibrosis (1, 2, 3, 4). Tissue alpha ‑L‑Fucosidase, also known as FUCA1, is a lysosomal enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing alpha ‑L‑fucose moieties from glycolipids and oligosaccharides (5). The mature enzyme in the liver has a molecular weight of 200 kDa and exists in the native state as a tetramer (6). Defects in FUCA1 are the cause of fucosidosis (7, 8, 9), an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease characterized by the accumulation of fucose-containing glycolipids and glycoproteins in various tissues. Serum alpha ‑L‑fucosidase has been identified as a useful marker for oral cancer (10).
