CAS 3458-28-4: Mannose

Abundant and critical component of natural glycans and glycoproteins

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.

D-(+)-Mannose

D-mannose acts as an alternative energy source utilized by brain. It is used in the study of assessing the synthesis of amphiphilic glycopolymers and investigating early detection of bronchiolitis obliterans.It may be useful in the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1b. It is also useful in the formation of glycan structure and glycosylation. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

D-Mannose

Mannose (Man) is the C2 epimer of glucose with one hydroxyl group axial which by Hudsons rules makes it slightly less stable than glucose (Hudson, 1948). However, mannose is very common in plants and animals, and occurs in many polysaccharides, such as, galactomannans (e.g. Guar, Locust Bean Gum), mananns (e.g. Ivory Nut Mannan), Spruce Galactoglucomannan, Gum Ghatti (Whistler, 1993) and baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) (Manners, 1973). Mannose is one of the key mammalian monosaccharides (Glucose, Galactose, Mannose, Fucose, N-Acetyl Glucosamine, N-Acetyl galactosamine and Sialic acid) and occurs in N-linked glycans where it is a core oligosaccharide (Gabius, 2009).
