Encodes a protein with α-fucosidase activity. The activity was assessed on 2'-fucosyl-lactitol. AtFUC1 was not able to act on XXFG substrates, at least when heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris. The enzyme has been postulated to act on fucosylated substrates other than xyloglucan oligosaccharides. was shown (Pichia pastoris) to hydrolyze fucose in 3- and 4-linkage , hence was characterized as alpha-L-3,4-fucosidase The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile.
