Common NamedTDP-alpha-D-fucose
DescriptiondTDP-alpha-D-fucose is a nucleotide sugar belonging to the class of deoxynucleotides. Its chemical structure features a fucose moiety linked to a dTDP (deoxyuridine triphosphate) backbone, which is essential for various glycosylation reactions. In terms of biosynthetic pathways, dTDP-alpha-D-fucose is synthesized from dTDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxyglucose through the action of the enzyme dTDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxyglucose reductase (Fcd), highlighting its role as a key intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism (PMID:17202151 ). Additionally, chemical reduction processes can yield dTDP-alpha-D-fucose alongside its epimer, dTDP-alpha-D-quinovose, indicating its structural relationship with other nucleotide sugars (PMID:15977277 ). This metabolite is critical in the synthesis of fucosylated glycans, which are important for various biological functions, including cell-cell recognition and signaling.
