Produktinformation

• Name: D-Fucose
• Synonyme: 6-Deoxy-D-galactose Rhodeose
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 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
