D-(+)-Fucose（Cat No.:R041162）is a naturally occurring deoxyhexose sugar distinguished by the absence of a hydroxyl group at the C-6 position. It is found in various biological systems, including plants, bacteria, and mammals, where it plays a crucial role in glycoprotein and glycolipid structures. D-(+)-Fucose is involved in cell–cell recognition, immune response modulation, and inflammation regulation. It is a key component of fucosylated oligosaccharides in human milk, contributing to gut health and infant immunity. Due to its biological relevance, D-(+)-Fucose is widely used in glycoscience, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research.
