| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in brain, placenta, liver and kidney. |
| Function | Catalyzes the NAD(+)-dependent oxidation of L-fucose, yielding L-fucono-1,5-lactone, which rapidly converts spontaneously to L-fucone-1,4-lactone. Can also act on D-arabinose and L-galactose, with lower catalytic efficiency. Does not use NADPH. May be the initial enzyme of the L-fucose degradation pathway in mammals. |
