It is equivalent to 6-deoxy-L-galactose. * In the fucose-containing glycan structures, fucosylated glycans, fucose can exist as a terminal modification or serve as an attachment point for adding other sugars. * In human N-linked glycans, fucose is most commonly linked -1,6 to the reducing terminal -N-acetylglucosamine.
