Specification of L-FUCOSE CAS 2438-80-4

Application of L-FUCOSE CAS 2438-80-4

L-fucose also has many uses in the cosmetics field, such as being used as a skin moisturizer, skin regenerating agent and anti-aging agent, or used to prevent epidermal (skin) inflammation.

A kind of six-carbon sugar. And can be regarded as a kind of methyl pentose. Most of the fucose that exists in nature is L-fucose, and the fucose of D configuration is only a rare sugar and is found in some sugar and sugar compounds. L-fucose is found in a large amount in seaweeds and gums, and is also found in polysaccharides of certain bacteria. Fucose, as a component of sugar chains in glycoproteins, is widely present on the plasma membrane on the surface of various types of chemicalbook cells. Fucose has one less hydroxyl group on the sixth carbon atom than general six-carbon sugars, so fucose is less hydrophilic than other monosaccharides, but more hydrophobic. The fucose in the molecules of certain blood group substances is a marker of a certain blood group. Usually, fucose is extracted from seaweed, first treated with acid, and after neutralization, it is precipitated in the form of phenylhydrazone to remove phenylhydrazine, and α-L-fucose crystals can be obtained.
