Description: D-Mannose (D-(+)-Mannose) is a carbohydrate. D-Mannose plays an important role in human metabolism, especially in the glycosylation of specific proteins. Target: Endogenous Metabolite. Smiles: [C@H]([C@@H]([C@@H](C=O)O)O)([C@@H](CO)O)O. References: Genovese C, et al. Effects of a new combination of...

White solid. Soluble in water. Mannose is an aldohexose carbohydrate. This product may be used to study the effects of exogenous mannose on in vitro processes such as glycosylation.

D-Mannose is an aldohexose monosaccharide and an epimer of glucose. D-Mannose is found in animals, microbes, and plants, can be used as an energy source by conversion to glucose, and can also be produced from glucose. It is converted via hexokinase to mannose-6-phosphate and then to intermediates that are...
