In enzymology a 12-alpha-L-fucosidase (EC 3.2.1.63) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionmethyl-2-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-beta-D-galactoside + H2O L-fucose + methyl beta-D-galactosideThus the two substrates of this enzyme are methyl-2-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-beta-D-galactoside and H2O whereas its two products are L-fucose and methyl beta-D-galactoside.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds.
