D-fucose

Description:

D-fucose is a naturally occurring monosaccharide, specifically an aldohexose, that plays a significant role in various biological processes. It is an epimer of D-mannose and is characterized by its six-carbon structure, which includes a hydroxymethyl group at the C-6 position. D-fucose is typically found in the L-form in nature, but the D-form is important in certain glycoproteins and glycolipids. It is soluble in water and exhibits a sweet taste. D-fucose is involved in cell recognition and signaling, particularly in the immune response and cellular adhesion. Its presence is crucial in the synthesis of fucosylated glycans, which are important for various physiological functions. The substance is also studied for its potential therapeutic applications, including its role in cancer biology and as a prebiotic. D-fucose can be obtained from various natural sources, including seaweed and certain bacteria, and is often used in research and biotechnological applications.

D-Fucose

CAS: 3615-37-0

D-Fucose is a sugar that can be synthesized in vitro. It is a component of the xanthurenic acid pathway, which is involved in the synthesis of l-arabinose. D-Fucose has been found to have anti-leukemic effects and to inhibit enzyme activities in vitro. It has also been shown to bind to the toll-like receptor, α1-acid glycoprotein, and surface membranes. A hydroxyl group at position 1 on the fucose molecule may be important for this binding. D-Fucose's biological properties are related to its structural analysis and the cell receptors it binds with. D-Fucose has an optimum pH level of 7, so it cannot survive outside of a neutral environment. It does not need any biological cofactors or enzymes for its synthesis, so it is classified as a nonessential nutrient. D-Fucose is also used in blood groups because it contains an antigen

α-D-Fucose

CAS: 3615-37-0

Fucose is a 6-carbon sugar that is an essential component of the human diet. It is found in many vegetables and fruits, but it can also be produced by the body from glucose. Fucose is involved in a number of important biochemical processes, including calcium metabolism and the synthesis of galactose, l-glutamic acid, and other carbohydrates. Fucose has been shown to inhibit leukemia cells through programmed cell death and may also have a role in regulating cell proliferation.
