一般描述
Mannose is an aldohexose carbohydrate. It is isomer of glucose with varying C2 position configuration.[1] Majority of mannose is synthesised from its epimer glucose.[2] It is part of the glycans present in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi.[2]
应用
D-(+)-Mannose has been used:
-
as a reference standard in monosaccharide analysis and quantification from sea squirts Ascidiella aspersa[3]
-
as a medium component for the selection of P898012 sorgum seeds transfected with Agrobacterium[4]
-
in segmented filamentous bacterium (SFB) medium supplement for culturing human cell lines[5]
Mannose is an aldohexose carbohydrate. This product may be used to study the effects of exogenous mannose on in vitro processes such as glycosylation.
生化/生理作用
Mannose may be used to study the effects of exogenous mannose on in vitro processes such as glycosylation. cis-Golgi glycoproteins have high mannose and are prone to Endoglycosidase H or peptide N-glycosidase (N-glycanase) digestion.
