This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is α-L-fucoside fucohydrolase. This enzyme is also called α-fucosidase. It participates in N-glycan degradation and glycan structure degradation.

Deficiency of this enzyme is called Fucosidosis.

In CAZy, α-L-fucosidases are found in glycoside hydrolase family 29 and glycoside hydrolase family 95.
