D-(+)-Fucose is a naturally occurring monosaccharide used in glycochemistry, cell signaling research, and the synthesis of glycoconjugates. It is a rare sugar, also known as 6-deoxy-D-galactose, found mainly in certain plant and microbial glycosides, and in research it is used chiefly as a non-metabolizable analog of L-fucose or galactose. Available with CAS number 3615-37-0, molecular formula C6H12O5, and molecular weight 164.16 g/mol, it should be stored at 2 to 8 °C. Molekula supplies D-(+)-Fucose from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
