Fucosylation
Fucosylation is a biological process where a sugar molecule called fucose attaches to proteins or other molecules in the body. This modification helps regulate how cells communicate, recognize each other, and function properly. Fucosylation plays a vital role in immune responses, development, and disease processes. It’s like adding a specific tag to a molecule to change how it behaves or interacts with other parts of the body, influencing various physiological functions and maintaining overall health.
