Lacto-N-fucopentaose II (Cat No.: I030434) is a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) composed of fucose, galactose, glucose, and N-acetylglucosamine. It plays a vital role in infant health by acting as a prebiotic, supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria like Bifidobacteria. LNFP II also contributes to immune defense by mimicking cell surface receptors, thereby blocking pathogen adhesion, particularly by viruses and bacteria. Its structure and function make it a key component in studying maternal-infant immunity and microbiome development.
