Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Fucose
DescriptionL-Fucose, also known as L-rha or 6-deoxymannose, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hexoses. These are monosaccharides in which the sugar unit is a is a six-carbon containing moeity. L-Fucose exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. L-Fucose exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. L-Fucose can be converted into fucose 1-phosphate; which is mediated by the enzyme L-fucose kinase. In cattle, L-fucose is involved in the metabolic pathway called the fructose and mannose degradation pathway.
