Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Enzyme Function:** FUCA2 is a lysosomal alpha-L-fucosidase, responsible for the hydrolysis of alpha-L-fucosidic linkages in glycoconjugates, such as glycoproteins and glycolipids. 2. **Cellular Distribution:** FUCA2 is expressed in a wide range of cell types, including immune cells (e.g., neutrophils, macrophages), stem cells, epithelial cells, and osteoclasts. 3. **Tissue Distribution:** FUCA2 is found in various tissues, including the ovary, bladder, and lung, where it is involved in the regulation of immune responses and metabolic processes. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Immune Response:** FUCA2 plays a critical role in the regulation of immune responses, including neutrophil degranulation, innate immune system activation, and response to bacterial infections. 2. **Metabolic Processes:** FUCA2 is involved in the catabolism of glycoconjugates, which is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating metabolic pathways, including protein metabolism and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) transport. 3. **Regulation of Cell Signaling:** FUCA2 modulates the activity of various signaling pathways, including protein phosphorylation, post-translational protein modification, and regulation of entry of bacteria into host cells. 4. **Extracellular Matrix Regulation:** FUCA2 influences the structure and function of the extracellular matrix, which is essential for maintaining tissue integrity and regulating cell migration and adhesion. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Dysregulation in Disease:** FUCA2 dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer (e.g., colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer), inflammatory disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, asthma), and metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes, obesity). 2. **Cancer Metastasis:** FUCA2 is involved in the regulation of metastasis, as it influences the activity of various signaling pathways that control cell migration, invasion, and angiogenesis. 3. **Immunotherapy:** FUCA2 is a potential target for immunotherapy, as its dysregulation can lead to impaired immune responses, making it a promising target for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. In conclusion, FUCA2 is a multifunctional enzyme that plays a critical role in various cellular processes, including immune response, metabolism, and regulation of protein function. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of this gene in human health and disease. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms of FUCA2 and its potential as a therapeutic target.
