Identification
Name:L-fucose isomerase
Synonyms:
  • 6-deoxy-L-galactose isomerase
  • FucIase
Gene Name:fucI
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in L-fucose isomerase activity
Specific Function:Converts the aldose L-fucose into the corresponding ketose L-fuculose. Is also able to convert D-arabinose into D- ribulose, but this isomerase has a higher affinity for fucose and fuculose than for arabinose and ribulose, respectively
