L -Rhamnose = 99 10030-85-0
L-Rhamnose is a part of plant cell wall polysaccharides, rhamnogalacturonan I and rhamnogalacturonan.
It is also present in bacterial cell walland a major antigenic determinant
contributing to its pathogenicity.
L-rhamnose is non-absorbable in humans but is fermented by intestinal microbes. Supplementation of L-rhamnose slows down gastric emptying.
L-rhamnose monosaccharide conjugated immunogens have applications in cancer immunotherapies.
Intake of L-rhamnose elevates serum propionate levels.
