Lewis B pentasaccharide

Leb pentasaccharide

Lewis B pentasaccharide is a carbohydrate epitope found on the surface of mammalian cells. Its structure is a pentasaccharide, with a fucosylated N-acetylglucosamine and a fucosylated galactose residue attached to a lactose backbone. The Lewis B antigen is a key part of the blood group system and plays a crucial role in cell-to-cell recognition and adhesion.
