Beschreibung

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.
