Application

4-Nitrophenyl α-L-fucopyranoside (αfTM) has been used as a chemical substrate for α-fucosidase to determine carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) activity. It has also been used as a nitrophenyl-linked substrate in p-nitrophenyl glycoside-based enzyme assays to determine the enzyme activity in cecal samples

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Nitrophenyl α-L-fucopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate that is used in kinetic studies of α-fucosidases.

Fucosylation is important for the function of many proteins with biotechnical and medical applications. Alpha-fucosidases comprise a large enzyme family that recognizes fucosylated substrates with diverse α-linkages on these proteins.
