Product Data Sheet
GDP-L-fucose
Catalog No. A71201
GDP-L-fucose is a nucleotide sugar that serves as a crucial substrate for the biosynthesis of fucosylated oligosaccharides. It provides the fucose moiety necessary for the assembly of these complex carbohydrates. This compound is synthesized via two distinct pathways: the predominant de novo metabolic route and a secondary salvage pathway. Research has indicated a correlation between GDP-L-fucose levels and diabetes in rat models, highlighting its importance in metabolic studies and potential applications in glycobiology.
