The Uses of Guanosine 5′-diphospho-β-L-fucose

Guanosine 5′-diphospho-β-L-fucose sodium salt has been used for microbe agglutination assay and agglutination inhibition assay.
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.

What are the applications of Application

Guanosine 5′-diphospho-β-L-fucose sodium salt is a substrate for fucosyltransferase

Definition

ChEBI: GDP-beta-L-fucose is a GDP-L-fucose in which the anomeric oxygen is on the same side of the fucose ring as the methyl substituent. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of a GDP-beta-L-fucose(2-).

General Description

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