Fucose - Wikipedia
WEBTwo structural features distinguish fucose from other six-carbon sugars present in mammals: the lack of a hydroxyl group on the carbon at the 6-position (C-6) (thereby making it a deoxy sugar) and the L-configuration. It is equivalent to 6-deoxy-L-galactose.

WEBMay 4, 2017 — Fucose is a 6-deoxy hexose in the l-configuration found in a large variety of different organisms. In mammals, fucose is incorporated into N -glycans, O -glycans and glycolipids by 13 fucosyltransferases, all of which utilize the nucleotide-charged form, GDP-fucose, to modify targets.

WEBl-fucose is a dietary sugar that is used by cells in a process called fucosylation to post-translationally modify and regulate protein behavior and function. As fucosylation plays essential cellular functions in normal organ and immune developmental and homeostasis, it is perhaps not surprising that it has been found to be perturbed in a number ...
Fucose: biosynthesis and biological function in mammals
WEBJul 1, 2003 — L-fucose (6-deoxy-L-galactose) is a monosaccharide that is a common component of many N- and O-linked glycans and glycolipids produced by mammalian cells. Two structural features distinguish fucose from other six-carbon sugars present in …
