Application

β-L-Fucose 1-phosphate is suitable as both substrate and product to identify, differentiate and characterize GTP fucose pyrophosphorylase(s) (GFPP; fucose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferases) involved in the formation of the nucleotide-sugar GDP-beta-l-fucose and other fucosylation donor substrates such as 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine (GDP)-β-l-fucose. β-L-Fucose 1-phosphate may be used to generate new fucosylation donor substrates for use in glycan fucosylation research.

Fucosyltransferases (FucTs) are essential tools for the synthesis of fucosylated glycoconjugates. Multistep enzyme catalysis of fucosylated glycans is not limited as long as isolated and well-characterized FucTs are available. The present paper introduces a novel bacterial α1,2-FucT of the glycosyltransferase

Monomeric sugars generated during the metabolism of polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids are imported to the cytoplasm and converted to respective nucleotide sugars via monosaccharide 1-phosphates, to be reutilized as activated sugars. Because L-fucose (L-Fuc) is activated mainly in the form

Fucosylated carbohydrate structures are involved in a variety of biological and pathological processes in eukaryotic organisms including tissue development, angiogenesis, fertilization, cell adhesion, inflammation, and tumor metastasis. In contrast, fucosylation appears less common in prokaryotic organisms and has been suggested

GTP-l-fucose pyrophosphorylase(GFPP) catalyzes the reversible formation of the nucleotide-sugar GDP-beta-l-fucose from guanosine triphosphate and beta-l-fucose-1-phosphate. The enzyme functions primarily in the mammalian liver and kidney to salvage free fucose during the breakdown of glycoproteins and glycolipids. GFPP shares little primary
