Description

General description

Mannose is a monosaccharide.

Application

D-(+)-Mannose, a C-2 epimer of D-glucose, is used in the formation of glycan structure and glycosylation.

D-Mannose has been used in a study to assess the synthesis of a family of amphiphilic glycopolymers. It has also been used in a study to investigate the early detection of bronchiolitis obliterans after lung transplantation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mannose, a six-carbon carbohydrate, is the C-2 epimer of glucose and a critical sugar for protein glycosylation. Mannose can also be utilized by the brain as an alternative energy source.
