Fucose

Description:

Fucose is a naturally occurring deoxy sugar, specifically a L-fucose, which is an aldohexose with the molecular formula C6H12O5. It is characterized by its unique structure, which includes a methyl group at the 6th carbon, distinguishing it from other hexoses. Fucose is commonly found in various biological systems, particularly in glycoproteins and glycolipids, where it plays a crucial role in cell recognition and signaling processes. It is often involved in the formation of fucosylated structures, which are important for immune responses and cellular interactions. Fucose is soluble in water and exhibits a sweet taste, although it is less sweet than glucose. In terms of its chemical properties, fucose can participate in various reactions typical of sugars, including oxidation and reduction, as well as glycosylation reactions. Its presence is significant in the study of carbohydrates and their biological functions, making it a subject of interest in biochemistry and glycobiology.

L-Fucose - non animal origin

CAS: 2438-80-4

L-Fucose is an aldohexose that is used as the building block for various glycoproteins and glycolipids. It is found in human serum and human pathogens. L-Fucose can be isolated from the hybridoma cell line by apical chromatography. The analytical method of L-fucose includes body formation, oligosaccharides, and glycan titration calorimetry. Structural analysis of L-fucose includes glycosylation, sugar analysis, and carbohydrate analysis. Fucose can also be used to produce oligosaccharides through enzymatic reactions with other sugars including glucose and galactose. This reaction produces a linkage between fucose and other sugars that are called glycosidic bonds.

L-Fucose

CAS: 2438-80-4

Fucose (Fuc, 6-deoxy L-galactose) has a methyl group at C6 in place of a hydroxyl group and this gives the molecule a greater degree of hydrophobicity than galactose (Collins, 2006). L-fucose is found in fucoidan, a polysaccharide that occurs in the brown seaweeds (Phaeophyceae) (Percival, 1967). Fucose is also a key component in many mammalian N- and O-linked glycans, glycolipids, blood group substances and Lewis antigens (Becker, 2003). In human milk, neutral (fucosylated) oligosaccharides (HMO) contain fucose at the terminal position (e.g. 2’ -fucosyllactose and lactodifucopentaose). They represent 35% to 50% of the total HMO content and many in vitro studies suggest that HMOs directly modulate immune responses, acting either locally on cells of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues or systemically to inhibit the expression of inflammatory genes, mainly cytokines (Plaza-Diaz, 2018).

L-Fucose - mycoplasma free, suitable for cell culture

CAS: 2438-80-4

L-fucose is used in cell culture to supplement the cell culture medium and provide a building block for cellular processes like fucosylation.  When cells take up L-fucose they convert it to GDP-L-fucose MG01912 which is then used for adding fucose residues to glycoproteins.  This is useful for studying metabolic pathways, correcting fucosylation deficiencies, or enhancing cellular functions.Our material is extensively purified in our Swiss manufacturing site to ensure it is mycoplasma free and low endotoxin.
