Description
α-D-Fucose is a six-carbon deoxy monosaccharide. It is equivalent to 6-deoxy-D-galactose. D-fucose acts as a non-metabolizable analogue of L-arabinose and inhibits induction of the L-arabinose operon in some bacteria. Some resistant bacteria possess a mutant araC gene where D-fucose acts as a gratuitous inducer of the L-arabinose operon. D-fucose induces β-galactosidase to some extent in Lactobacillus plantarum.
α-D-fucose inhibits the eukaryotic enzyme Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1A), thereby causing gene repression. α-D-fucose is being explored in treatments for neurodegenerative diseases because of its effect on gene repression. Seen upregulated in many cancers, LSD1A overexpression pushes the cell cycle of otherwise non-transformed cells so α-D-fucose is being explored in cancers treatments as well.
