Lacto-N-fucopentaose II is a blood group Lea-active structure in hemaglutination-inhibition studies. Lacto-N-fucopentaose-2, also referred to as lea penta or LNF ii, is an oligosaccharide, which falls under the category of organic compounds known as oligosaccharides. Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates comprising 3 to 10 monosaccharide units connected through glycosidic bonds. This compound is soluble in water and exhibits weak acidity (based on its pKa).
