D-[UL-¹³C6]mannose is a research chemical that is widely used in the field of carbohydrate and protein studies. It is a heavy label isotope of mannose, a monosaccharide that plays an important role in various biological processes. D-[UL-¹³C6]mannose is commonly used to study the metabolism and biosynthesis of oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, and lipopolysaccharides. By incorporating this heavy label into these molecules, researchers can track their movement and interactions within cells and tissues. This research chemical is an invaluable tool for studying the complex structures and functions of carbohydrates in biological systems.

Applications D-Mannose is a carbohydrate that is important in the glycosylation of molecules in a variety of cellular processes. It is involved in N and O glycosylation of bovine why protein products, used in infant formulas. It is also responsible for the O-glycosylation of the T helper cell-derived cytokine interlukin-17A, an important cell-signaling molecule. This is the labeled analog.
