α-L-Fucose

Description:

α-L-Fucose is a naturally occurring deoxy sugar, specifically an L-fucose, which is an aldohexose. It is characterized by its furanose and pyranose forms, with the α-anomer being predominant in solution. This sugar is notable for its role in various biological processes, including cell recognition and signaling, as it is a component of glycoproteins and glycolipids. α-L-Fucose is typically found in the cell walls of certain plants and in the glycan structures of many organisms, including mammals. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, exhibiting a sweet taste. The chemical formula of α-L-Fucose is C6H12O5, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 164.16 g/mol. Its structure features a six-membered ring with a hydroxymethyl group and a methyl group, contributing to its unique properties. In addition to its biological significance, α-L-Fucose is of interest in the food and pharmaceutical industries for its potential health benefits and applications in drug development.
