2'-FUCOSYLLACTOSE (C005B-314107)

General description

2′-Fucosyl-D-lactose (2′-FL) is a naturally occurring disaccharide, categorized as a fucose-containing oligosaccharide. It serves as a substrate for the identification, differentiation, and characterization of fucosidases. Additionally, it finds utility in biosensor development for the recognition of anti-infective oligosaccharides and the differentiation of IL-8 receptor specificity and function. Existing research indicates that 2′-FL may possess various biological activities, including immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-cancer properties.

Notably, it holds the distinction of being the most abundant human milk oligosaccharide (HMO), contributing to multiple functions, including acting as a prebiotic, safeguarding against infections and inflammation, modulating the immune system, supporting brain development, and reducing the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis. Also, high levels of 2′-fucosyllactose is associated with excessive weight gain during exclusive breastfeeding in 0 to 5 months infants. HMOs are important metabolites regulating host′s innate immune response.

Application

2′-Fucosyllactose is a versatile compound and a biomarker that finds application in microbiome, metabolomics, biochemical and nutrition research.

Biochem/physiol Actions

2′-Fucosyllactose plays a role in modulating CD14 expression, providing relief in colitis, and influencing the composition of the gut microbiome. Its impact extends to stimulating T cells, leading to heightened IFN-γ production, while concurrently reducing the production of cytokines IL-6, IL-17, and TNF-α.

Features and Benefits

• High-purity compound suitable for a wide variety of research applications
