L-Fucose

L-Fucose is a type of sugar found naturally in various plants, animals, and bacteria. It plays an important role in the body, particularly in forming complex molecules on cell surfaces that help cells communicate, recognize each other, and function properly. Fucose is also involved in immune responses and the development of tissues. Unlike common sugars like glucose, L-fucose is a specialized sugar that contributes to the structure and signaling processes within the body, making it essential for maintaining healthy biological functions.
