• Sinónimos: 4,6-Dideoxy-L-xylo-hexose
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descripción: 4-Deoxy-l-fucose is a molecule that has been found to inhibit the synthesis of gangliosides. It is an acetylated derivative of l-fucose and can be synthesized from ethyl 4-deoxy-D-glucuronate with the help of a multivorans enzyme. This molecule is metabolically unstable and reacts with oxygen to form a divalent alcohol that can be identified by magnetic resonance spectroscopy. 4-Deoxy-l-fucose inhibits the biosynthesis of gangliosides, which are important molecules in cell signaling, through its ability to inhibit enzymes such as acetyltransferase.
