Izumi, M, Tsuruta, O, Harayama, S, Hashimoto, H, S3mthesis of 5-thio-L-fucose-containing disaccharides, as sequence-specific inhibitors, and 2 -fucosyllactose, as a substrate of a-L-fucosidases, J. Org. Chem., 62, 992-998, 1997. 

The carbohydrate components of several glycoproteins in cellular membranes from rat brain and liver contain a-N-acetylneuraminyl-(2 -> 8)-iV-acetylneur-aminyl L-Fucose-containing glycoproteins in the plasma mem-... 

The structure of a novel L-fucose-containing ganglioside from pig cerebellum has been established (2). 9-O-Acetyl-A-acetylneuraminic acid accounts for up to 20% of the brain ganglioside fractions from man, cow, horse, pig, sheep, cat, rabbit, rat, chicken, and codfish. In the pig and cow, traces of the A-glycolyl derivative were also found. The novel trisialoganglioside, Giia (3), has been isolated and characterized and is responsible for 0.6% of the total ganglioside fraction of human brain. ... 

Immunochemical and histological investigations of tissues from the oligodendrocytes of human brain have revealed the presence of glycoproteins, and L-fucose-containing glycoproteins are present in the perikaryal fraction of neurons. Comparisons of the substrate specificity, isoelectric point, enzymic activity, and optimum pH have shown that hexosaminidase C is identical with the principal residual activity in SandhofT s fibroblasts. ... 

Affinity chromatography on a matrix containing residues of 2-amino-2-deoxy-L-fucose has been used to purify an a-L-fucosidase from rat epididymus, giving a preparation that is free from other glycoside hydrolases. The enzyme preparation was used to investigate the structures of L-fucose-containing poly-... 

The irregular storage of a L-fucose-containing tetrahexosyl ceramide could be related to an a-fucosidase deficiency (Durant et al.,...
