Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Mannose is an aldohexose carbohydrate. It is isomer of glucose with varying C2 position configuration. Majority of mannose is synthesised from its epimer glucose. It is part of the glycans present in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi._x000D_ Application_x000D_ D-(+)-Mannose has been used:_x000D_ • as a reference standard in monosaccharide analysis and quantification from sea squirts Ascidiella aspersa_x000D_ • as a medium component for the selection of P898012 sorgum seeds transfected with Agrobacterium_x000D_ • in segmented filamentous bacterium (SFB) medium supplement for culturing human cell lines_x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 25, 100, 500 g in poly bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Mannose may be used to study the effects of exogenous mannose on in vitro processes such as glycosylation. cis-Golgi glycoproteins have high mannose and are prone to Endoglycosidase H or peptide N-glycosidase (N-glycanase) digestion.
