Product Information

• Name: N-(1-Deoxy-D-fructos-1-yl)-L-serine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: The N-glycation of proteins is a process that occurs when protein reacts with glucose, which is called glycation. This process can lead to the formation of reactive oxygen species and subsequent oxidative stress. The oxidation of proteins can also lead to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are associated with complications such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cataracts. This product is an example of a protein that has undergone glycation. It has been shown to react with glucose in an enzymatic reaction and form glucose-derivatives called fructosamines, which are used for monitoring the level of glycation in humans. Fructosamines have been correlated with basic treatments such as medications or insulin therapy.
