α1-2,4,6 Fucosidase O is a broad specificity exoglycosidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal α1-2, α1-4 and α1-6 linked fucose residues from oligosaccharides. α1-2,4,6 Fucosidase O cleaves α1-6 fucose residues more efficiently than other linkages.
The following reagents are supplied with this product:
1X GlycoBuffer 1
Incubate at 37°C
1X GlycoBuffer 1
5 mM CaCl2
50 mM sodium acetate
(pH 5.5 @ 25°C)
20 mM Tris-HCl
50 mM NaCl
1 mM EDTA
pH 7.5 @ 20°C
Repeated freeze/thaw cycles may reduce activity. Recommended storage temperature is 4°C.
The optimal pH range is 4.5 – 5.5.
If using the enzyme alone (without other glycosidases), recommended incubation temperature is 50°C.
Longer incubation times (4 hours to overnight) may be needed for digestion of complex, oligosaccharides with multiple branches.
