Description

Lacto-n-Fucopentaose Vi is a structurally defined human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) with the CAS registry number 145876-86-4. This high-purity glycan is a critical research tool and a valuable standard for analytical and biological studies. It is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, and infant nutrition industries who require well-characterized, high-quality carbohydrate standards for advanced research and development.

Application

• Biomedical Research Standard: Used as a primary reference standard for the identification and quantification of HMOs in complex biological matrices via techniques like HPLC and LC-MS.
• Glycobiology Studies: Serves as a key substrate for investigating the role of specific fucosylated oligosaccharides in host-microbe interactions, immune modulation, and cell signaling pathways.
• Infant Formula R&D: Employed in the development and quality control of next-generation infant nutritional products aimed at replicating the bioactivity of human milk.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Utilized in the creation of diagnostic kits and assays for detecting specific carbohydrate biomarkers or enzymatic activities.
• Enzymology & Biochemistry: Acts as a specific substrate for studying the activity, kinetics, and inhibition of fucosyltransferases and other glycosyl hydrolases.
• Microbiome Research: Applied in studies to understand how specific HMOs shape the infant gut microbiota by acting as prebiotic substrates for beneficial bacteria.
