Beschreibung

L-Fucose is a monosaccharide that is an important component of glycoproteins and glycolipids. L-Fucose is also found in the cell wall of bacteria. The most abundant sources of L-fucose are from the hydrolysis of lactose or sucrose by bacteria, or as a result of intestinal microbial fermentation. L-Fucose has been shown to be involved in the regulation of many metabolic processes, including the glomerular filtration rate and sephadex g-100 binding capacity in the kidney. It has also been shown to improve growth in infant rats with protein malnutrition. The enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of D-arabinose to L-fucose is known as fucokinase.
