Allgemeine Beschreibung

L-Fucose, a natural monosaccharide found in mammals, is an important component of several N- and O-linked glycans and glycolipids.

Anwendung

L-(−)-Fucose has been used:
  • as the non-haptenic sugar in lectin bead-binding assay to study its effects on the binding of immobilized lectins like peanut agglutinin (PNA) and Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA)
  • as an internal standard to dilute the enzymatic hydrolysates for analytical methods
  • in the synthesis of fucosyl thioglycoside

Biochem./physiol. Wirkung

L-Fucose (6-Deoxy-L-galactose) is used in studies of fucoidan polysaccharides containing glycans. It 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 fucosidase(s),l-fucose isomerase(s), and L-fucose dehydrogenase(s). It may be used to study organelles, and bacterial microcompartments, involved in the degradation of plant and algal cell wall sugars. L-Fucose may also be used as a reference compound in rare sugar identification and analysis.
L-Fucose is broadly used as a food additive. It possesses anti-inflammatory effects. It can inhibit the cutaneous immune reaction and alveolar macrophage priming. L-fucose can also suppress tumor growth and tumorigenesis.

Seaweeds--or marine macroalgae--notably brown seaweeds in the class Phaeophyceae, contain fucoidan. Fucoidan designates a group of certain fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides (FCSPs) that have a backbone built of (1→3)-linked α-L-fucopyranosyl or of alternating (1→3)- and (1→4)-linked α-L-fucopyranosyl residues, but also include

Breast cancer cells incorporate the simple sugar alpha-L-fucose (fucose) into glycoproteins and glycolipids which, in turn, are expressed as part of the malignant phenotype. We have noted that fucose is not simply a bystander molecule, but, in fact, contributes to

Rhizobial NodZ α1,6-fucosyltransferase (α1,6-FucT) catalyzes the transfer of the fucose (Fuc) moiety from guanosine 5'-diphosphate-β-L-fucose to the reducing end of the chitin oligosaccharide core during Nod-factor (NF) biosynthesis. NF is a key signalling molecule required for successful symbiosis with a

Delayed engraftment remains a major hurdle after cord blood (CB) transplantation. It may be due, at least in part, to low fucosylation of cell surface molecules important for homing to the bone marrow microenvironment. Because fucosylation of specific cell surface
