L-Fucose

  • Description:

    L-Fucose is a six-carbon deoxy monosaccharide that is equivalent to 6-deoxy-L-galactose. L-Fucose is found on many N- and O-linked glycans present on the cell surface of a wide variety of organisms. The most well-known fucosylated glycans are the ABO blood group antigens. L-fucose present in gastrointestinal mucous represses virulence factor-encoding genes expressed by enterohemorrhagicE. coli.Mutations in the gene that encodes alpha-L-fucosidase can cause fucosidosis, leading to a buildup of fucose-containing compounds which cause cellular malfunction.Product Specifications6-Deoxy-L-galactose; L-Fuc; L-FucoseFormula:C6H12O5MW: 164.16 g/molColor: White to off-white crystalline powderForms a colorless, clear solution when dissolved 10% in water.PubChem Chemical ID:444200
