Lacto-N-fucopentaose III (LNFP III) is a polysaccharide used for proteomics research. It can also be used as a substrate to promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Lacto-N-fucopentaose III is utilized in glycobiology research to study the interactions between carbohydrates and proteins. It can be used as a reference standard for the detection and quantification of fucosylated carbohydrates. It also serves as a building block for the synthesis of more complex oligosaccharides or glycans. Additionally, Lacto-N-fucopentaose III has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties.
