L-fuculose
Also known as 6-deoxy-L-lyxo-hex-2-ulose
Fuculose or 6-deoxy-tagatose is a ketohexose deoxy sugar. Fuculose is involved in the process of sugar metabolism. -Fuculose can be formed from -fucose by -fucose isomerase and converted to L-fuculose-1-phosphate by -fuculose kinase. == See also == -fuculose-phosphate aldolase -fuculosekinase
