D-fucose ni monosaccharide, cyane cyane isukari itandatu ya karubone, iri mumatsinda yisukari yoroshye yitwa hexose.Ni isomer ya glucose, itandukanye muburyo bw'itsinda rimwe rya hydroxyl.
D-fucose isanzwe iboneka mubinyabuzima bitandukanye, harimo bagiteri, ibihumyo, ibimera, ninyamaswa.Ifite uruhare runini mubikorwa byinshi byibinyabuzima, nkibimenyetso byerekana ingirabuzimafatizo, ingirabuzimafatizo, hamwe na synthesis ya glycoproteine.Nibigize glycolipide, glycoproteine, na proteoglycans, bigira uruhare mu itumanaho rya selile-selile no kumenyekana.
Mu bantu, D-fucose igira kandi uruhare muri biosynthesis yimiterere yingenzi ya glycan, nka Lewis antigens na antigens groupe yamaraso, bigira uruhare muburyo bwo guhuza amaraso no kwandura indwara.
D-fucose irashobora kuboneka ahantu hatandukanye, harimo ibyatsi byo mu nyanja, ibimera, na fermentation ya mikorobe.Ikoreshwa mubushakashatsi no gukoresha biomedical medicine, ndetse no mugukora imiti imwe nimwe yimiti hamwe nubuvuzi.
