Metabolite Identification
Common Namebeta-L-Fucose
Descriptionbeta-L-Fucose, also known as β-L-fuc or beta-L-fuc, 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. beta-L-Fucose is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). beta-L-Fucose exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. A L-fucopyranose with a beta-configuration at the anomeric position.

General function:
Not Available
Specific function:
Involved in the interconversion between alpha- and beta-L-fucoses. L-Fucose (6-deoxy-L-galactose) exists as alpha-L-fucose (29.5%) and beta-L-fucose (70.5%), the beta-form is metabolized through the salvage pathway. GDP-L-fucose formed either by the de novo or salvage pathways is transported into the endoplasmic reticulum, where it serves as a substrate for N- and O-glycosylations by fucosyltransferases. Fucosylated structures expressed on cell surfaces or secreted in biological fluids are believed to play a critical role in cell-cell adhesion and recognition processes.
