General description

Guanosine 5′-diphospho-β-L-fucose (GDP-fucose) is a sugar nucleotide present in bacteria and humans and is a fucosyltransferase substrate.
Substrate for fucosyltransferase

Application

Guanosine 5′-diphospho-β-L-fucose sodium salt may be used as a component of fucosyltransferase VII (FTVII) reaction buffer to aid exofucosylation in murine adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AMSCs). It has been used for microbe agglutination assay and agglutination inhibition assay.

L-fucose, 6-deoxy-L-galactose, is a key component of many important glycoconjugates including the blood group antigens and the Lewis(X) ligands. The biosynthesis of GDP-L-fucose begins with the action of a dehydratase that converts GDP-D-mannose into GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-mannose. The enzyme GDP-fucose synthase, GFS
