Description générale

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

Application

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

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

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
