Key Product Recommendation- High-purity L-Fucose

Description and introduction

Fucose is a hexose deoxy sugar with the chemical formula C6H12O5. It is found on N-linked glycans on the mammalian, i

nsect and plant cell surface, and is the fundamental sub-unit of the fucoidan polysaccharide. α(1→3) linked core fucose is a suspected carbohydrate antigen for IgE-mediated allergy.

Two structural features distinguish fucose from other six-carbon sugars present in

mammals: the lack of a hydroxyl group on the carbon at the 6-position (C-6) (thereby making it a deoxy sugar) and the L-configuration. It is equivalent to 6-deoxy-L-galactose.

In the fucose-containing glycan structures, fucosylated glycans, fucose can exist as a terminal modification or serve as an attachment point for adding other sugars.

  Effect:

L - Fucose can combine with viruses, bacteria and toxins to prevent them from infecting cells, thus enhancing the body's resistance.

L-Fucose is one of the eight essential sugars in the human body and one of the oligosaccharides in human breast milk.It also has a variety of uses in the cosmetic field,

such as as a skin moisturizer, skin regenerant and anti-aging agent, or for the prevention of epidermal (skin) inflammation.
