01
Overview
Mannose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) with the molecular formula C6H12O6. It is a C-2 epimer of glucose and plays a crucial role in glycosylation processes. Mannose is not an essential nutrient and can be synthesized from glucose in the human body. It has therapeutic applications, particularly in preventing and treating urinary tract infections and has shown anticancer properties by inhibiting cell proliferation. However, its metabolism and effects can vary significantly across different organisms.
