Lacto-N-fucopentaose VI

Description:

Lacto-N-fucopentaose VI (LNFP VI) is a complex carbohydrate classified as a fucosylated oligosaccharide. It is composed of a core lactose structure with additional fucose and N-acetylglucosamine residues. This oligosaccharide is notable for its role in biological processes, particularly in the context of human milk oligosaccharides, where it contributes to the prebiotic effects that support gut health and immune function in infants. LNFP VI is characterized by its ability to interact with various lectins and receptors, influencing cell signaling and microbial interactions in the gut. Its structural complexity allows it to exhibit diverse biological activities, including modulation of gut microbiota and potential anti-inflammatory effects. The presence of fucose in its structure is significant, as fucosylated oligosaccharides are known to play a role in cell adhesion and pathogen recognition. Overall, Lacto-N-fucopentaose VI is an important component of human milk, contributing to the nutritional and immunological benefits for infants.
