Collection: Galactosamine [Oligosaccharides by Component Sugar]
Galactosamine [Oligosaccharides by Component Sugar] — compiles oligosaccharides and glycolipids containing galactosamine (GalNAc) units as the main constituent sugar, including LacDiNAc, Globo, and sialylated derivative structures. This group reflects the diversity of branched glycan chains commonly found on cell surfaces and glycoproteins.
Galactosamine [Oligosaccharides by Component Sugar] is widely used by glycobiology researchers to study lectin recognition, glycosidase activity, and carbohydrate epitope mapping on cell surfaces. pNP-glycoside derivatives serve as chromogenic substrates for enzyme activity assays, while the ceramide forms are used in studies of membrane glycolipids and lipid raft models.
Example products in this collection: TCI N0890 1858224-04-0 Neu5Ac alpha(2-6)GalNAc-alpha-pNP, TCI G0340 60280-58-2 Gal beta(1-3)GalNAc-alpha-Thr, TCI M1776 1858223-95-6 LacDiNAc(I) MP Glycoside, TCI G0341 286959-52-2 GlcNAc beta(1-3)GalNAc-alpha-Thr, TCI M1733 1858224-01-7 LacDiNAc MP Glycoside, TCI G0342 1304646-03-4 GlcNAc beta(1-3)[GlcNAc beta(1-6)]GalNAc-alpha-Thr, TCI G0593 SialylGb5 Ceramide, TCI G0343 186600-27-1 Gal beta(1-3)[GlcNAc beta(1-6)]GalNAc-alpha-Thr.
Pay attention to the anomeric configuration (alpha/beta) and the regiochemistry of the glycosidic linkages, as these determine recognition by enzymes or lectins, as well as the physical form of the preparation and the presence or absence of temporary protecting groups on the oligosaccharide structure. All products are original Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on the page of each item.
