Cloning, sequence identification and expression profile analysis of α-l-fucosidase gene from the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata

► The medfly Ceratitis capitata is one of the most destructive agricultural pests. ► A complete cDNA, 1482 bp long, encoding a putative α-l-fucosidase was amplified. ► The coding region encoded a putative protein (named CcFUCA) of 485 residues. ► This gene encode a protein express in gonad and non-gonad tissues.
