Scientific Data Images for Human Tissue alpha-L-Fucosidase/FUCA1 Antibody

Detection of Human Tissue a-L-Fucosidase/FUCA1 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human Tissue alpha‑L‑Fucosidase/FUCA1 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of human placenta tissue and human thyroid tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human Tissue a-L-Fucosidase/FUCA1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB7039) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for Tissue a-L-Fucosidase/FUCA1 at approximately 50 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Detection of Human Tissue a-L-Fucosidase/FUCA1 antibody by Simple WesternTM.

Detection of Human Tissue alpha‑L‑Fucosidase/FUCA1 by Simple WesternTM.

Simple Western lane view shows lysates of human thyroid tissue, loaded at 0.5 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Tissue alpha‑L‑Fucosidase/FUCA1 at approximately 56 kDa (as indicated) using 2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human Tissue alpha‑L‑Fucosidase/FUCA1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB7039). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

Background: Tissue alpha-L-Fucosidase/FUCA1

Fucosylated glycoconjugates play numerous roles in biological processes, such as development, apoptosis and the immune responses, and are involved in the pathology of inflammation, cancer and cystic fibrosis (1, 2, 3, 4). Tissue alpha‑L‑Fucosidase, also known as FUCA1, is a lysosomal enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing alpha‑L‑fucose moieties from glycolipids and oligosaccharides (5). The mature enzyme in the liver has a molecular weight of 200 kDa and exists in the native state as a tetramer (6). Defects in FUCA1 are the cause of fucosidosis (7, 8, 9), an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease characterized by the accumulation of fucose-containing glycolipids and glycoproteins in various tissues. Serum alpha‑L‑fucosidase has been identified as a useful marker for oral cancer (10).
