Multiple forms of epidermal alpha-fucosidase. 1979

T Miyagawa

Two forms of alpha-fucosidase from newborn rat epidermis were separated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150. These enzymes termed, fucosidase I which was eluted in the void volume and fucosidase II (molecular weight approximately 50,000). Both enzymes had pH optima for 4-methylumbelliferyl-alpha-L-fucoside hydrolysis between 5.5-6.5. Km values for fucosidase I and II with the same substrate were 3.7 X 10(-5) and 5.4 X 10(-5) M, respectively. Three different forms of new born rat epidermal alpha-fucosidase were separated by isoelectric focusing. Evidence is present which indicates that the electrophoretic heterogeneity of alpha-fucosidase is due in part to the binding of sialic acid to the primary gene product.

D004817 Epidermis The external, nonvascular layer of the skin. It is made up, from within outward, of five layers of EPITHELIUM: (1) basal layer (stratum basale epidermidis); (2) spinous layer (stratum spinosum epidermidis); (3) granular layer (stratum granulosum epidermidis); (4) clear layer (stratum lucidum epidermidis); and (5) horny layer (stratum corneum epidermidis).
D005644 alpha-L-Fucosidase An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of an alpha L-fucoside to yield an alcohol and L-fucose. Deficiency of this enzyme can cause FUCOSIDOSIS. EC 3.2.1.51. Fucosidase,alpha-Fucosidase,alpha Fucosidase,alpha L Fucosidase
