L(−)-Fucose (CAS 6696-41-9)
QUICK LINKS
L(−)-Fucose is a monosaccharide that plays a role in various biological processes. It is involved in the synthesis of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and other complex carbohydrates. L(−)-Fucose is a key component of cell surface antigens and is useful for cell-cell recognition and adhesion. It also serves as a substrate for fucosyltransferases, enzymes that catalyze the transfer of fucose residues to glycoproteins and glycolipids. This monosaccharide is known to modulate the activity of selectins, which are involved in cell adhesion and migration. L(−)-Fucose has influence the function of certain immune cells and is implicated in various signaling pathways. Its presence or absence can impact the structure and function of glycoconjugates, thereby affecting cellular interactions and processes.
