| L-FUCOSE Usage And Synthesis |
| Description |
L-( )-Fucose is a deoxyhexose monosaccharide found on N- and O-linked glycans and glycolipids of a wide variety of organisms. It can exist as a terminal modification of glycan structures or serve as a point of attachment for adding other sugars. In humans, L-( )-fucose plays a role in A and B blood group antigen substructure determination, selectin-mediated leukocyte-endothelial adhesion, and host-microbe interactions. |

| Uses |
L-Fucose was isolated from seaweed. |
| Uses |
L-Fucose (6-Deoxy-L-galactose) is used in studies of fucoidan polysaccharide containing glycans. L-Fucose is studied as a glycan modifying carbohydrate that generates antigenic sites recognized by IgE antibodies. L-Fucose is used 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 be used to study organelles, bacterial microcompartments, involved in the degradation of plant and algal cell wall sugars. L-Fucose may be used as a reference compound in rare sugar identification and analysis.
