D-fucose inonzi monosaccharide, kunyanya shuga yekabhoni matanhatu, inova yeboka reshuga dziri nyore dzinonzi hexoses.Iyo isomeri yeglucose, inosiyana mukugadzirisa kweimwe hydroxyl boka.
D-fucose inowanikwa muzvisikwa zvakasiyana-siyana, kusanganisira mabhakitiriya, fungi, zvidyarwa, uye mhuka.Inotamba mabasa akakosha mune akati wandei maitiro ehupenyu, senge sero kusaina, sero adhesion, uye glycoprotein synthesis.Icho chikamu che glycolipids, glycoproteins, uye proteoglycans, iyo inobatanidzwa musero-kune-sero kutaurirana uye kuzivikanwa.
Muvanhu, D-fucose inobatanidzwawo mu biosynthesis yezvivako zvakakosha zveglycan, zvakadai seLewis antigens uye maantigen eboka reropa, izvo zvine zvazvinoreva mukuwedzerwa kuwedzerwa kweropa uye kubatwa kwechirwere.
D-fucose inogona kuwanikwa kubva kwakasiyana masosi, kusanganisira yegungwa, zvidyarwa, uye microbial fermentation.Inoshandiswa mukutsvagisa uye biomedical application, pamwe nekugadzira mimwe mishonga nemishonga yekurapa.
