Product Information

• Name: L-Fucose - mycoplasma free, suitable for cell culture
• Synonyms: 6-Deoxy-L-galactopyranose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-fucose is used in cell culture to supplement the cell culture medium and provide a building block for cellular processes like fucosylation. When cells take up L-fucose they convert it to GDP-L-fucose MG01912 which is then used for adding fucose residues to glycoproteins. This is useful for studying metabolic pathways, correcting fucosylation deficiencies, or enhancing cellular functions.Our material is extensively purified in our Swiss manufacturing site to ensure it is mycoplasma free and low endotoxin.
