FUOM/Fucose Mutarotase Protein, Human (His)

The FUOM/fucose mutarotase protein has a crucial interconversion effect on α- and β-L-fucose, with β-L-fucose being dominant (70.5%). The β-form undergoes metabolic processes via the salvage pathway, producing GDP-L-fucose that is transported to the endoplasmic reticulum. FUOM/Fucose Mutarotase Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived FUOM/Fucose Mutarotase protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag. The total length of FUOM/Fucose Mutarotase Protein, Human (His) is 154 a.a., with molecular weight of ~19 kDa.

The FUOM/Fucose Mutarotase Protein plays a crucial role in the interconversion between alpha- and beta-L-fucoses, where L-fucose, a 6-deoxy-L-galactose, coexists as alpha-L-fucose (29.5%) and beta-L-fucose (70.5%). Notably, the beta-form undergoes metabolic processes through the salvage pathway. GDP-L-fucose, generated via either the de novo or salvage pathways, is transported to the endoplasmic reticulum. There, it serves as a substrate for N- and O-glycosylations catalyzed by fucosyltransferases. Fucosylated structures expressed on cell surfaces or secreted in biological fluids are thought to play a pivotal role in cell-cell adhesion and recognition processes. The dynamic interconversion facilitated by FUOM highlights its significance in modulating the pool of available L-fucose, influencing essential glycosylation events crucial for various cellular functions.

The enzyme activity of this recombinant protein is testing in progress, we cannot offer a guarantee yet.
