6-Deoxy-L-mannose monohydrate

Uses

α-L-Rhamnose is a terminal residue of steviol glycosides Dulcoside A and Dulcoside B. α-L-Rhamnose recognizing lectin site of human dermal fibroblasts functions as a signal transducer: modulation of Ca2+ fluxes and gene expression[1][2].

Definition

ChEBI: An L-rhamnopyranose having alpha-configuration at the anomeric centre.
