6-deoxy-l-mannose

α-L-Rhamnose monohydrate (6-deoxy-L-mannose monohydrate) is a component of bacterial polysaccharides where it plays an important role in pathogenicity.

Addition of the Rhamnose (6-Deoxy-L-mannose)-rich polysaccharide, RROP-1, to normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) and human endothelial cells produced a dose-dependent stimulation of the calcium-signaling pathway, inducing fast and transient increases in Ca2 influx and intracellular free Ca2 level.

L-Mannose,6-deoxy,diethyl dithioacetal is a biochemical reagent used in glycobiology research. Glycobiology focuses on the structure, synthesis, and role of sugars in biology and evolution. Research topics include carbohydrate chemistry, enzymology of glycan formation and degradation, protein-glycan recognition, and the function of glycans in biological systems. This field has important relevance in basic research, biomedicine, and biotechnology.
