L-Fuculose

Description:

L-Fuculose is a naturally occurring sugar and an aldohexose, specifically classified as a ketose due to the presence of a ketone functional group. It is an isomer of L-fucose, differing in the configuration around the carbonyl carbon. L-Fuculose is typically found in certain plants and microorganisms and plays a role in various metabolic pathways, particularly in the synthesis of polysaccharides. The compound is characterized by its sweet taste and is soluble in water, making it readily available for biological processes. Its molecular structure includes a six-carbon backbone with hydroxyl groups that contribute to its reactivity and interactions with other biomolecules. L-Fuculose can participate in various biochemical reactions, including those involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Additionally, it has potential applications in the food industry and biochemistry, particularly in the study of glycoproteins and cell signaling. As with many sugars, it is important to handle L-Fuculose with care in laboratory settings to avoid contamination and ensure accurate experimental results.

L-Fuculose - aqueous solution

CAS: 13074-08-3

Fuculose is a monosaccharide that is a constituent of fucose-containing glycoproteins. It is found in the blood and urine, as well as in various tissues, such as liver, lung, kidney, and spleen. The biological properties of L-fuculose are related to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. Fuculose has been shown to be an effective activator for cutaneous lesions in mice models. The structural analysis of L-fuculose has revealed that it contains a reactive site for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and polysaccharides. Fuculose has also been shown to increase the proliferation of some cells, including corynebacterium glutamicum and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). This property may be due to its ability to activate growth factors or interfere with cell signaling pathways.
