L-fucose isomerase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a L-fucose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.25) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-fucose L-fuculose

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, L-fucose, and one product, L-fuculose.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases interconverting aldoses and ketoses. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-fucose aldose-ketose-isomerase. This enzyme participates in fructose and mannose metabolism.
