L-(-)-Fucose   L-Fucose 2438-80-4 CAS 2438-80-4 Cas No:2438-80-4 CAS No. 2438-80-4 extrapure, >99%

L-(−)-Fucose is a structural component of many important molecules, such as glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans. It is involved in several metabolic pathways, including the synthesis of sialic acid, a sugar molecule found on the surface of cells. In addition, L-(−)-Fucose is important in the development of immunity and inflammation. It can be used in studies of fucoidan polysaccharide containing glycans and as a substrate to identify, differentiate, and characterize enzymes such as the fucosidase(s), l-fucose isomerase(s), and L-fucose dehydrogenase(s). L-(−)-Fucose may also be used to study organelles and bacterial microcompartments involved in the degradation of plant and algal cell wall sugars.
