2,5-Anhydro-D-mannose（Cat No.:R002444） is a rare sugar that plays important roles in biological processes. It is a component of bacterial and plant cell wall polysaccharides, such as alginate and pectin, where it contributes to structural integrity. In mammals, 2,5-anhydro-D-mannose is involved in glycoprotein biosynthesis, particularly in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and glycolipids. It also serves as a precursor for the synthesis of other important sugars. Due to its limited availability, 2,5-anhydro-D-mannose has attracted attention for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the development of novel antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents.
