General description

Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-GalNAc acts as a precursor in the biosynthesis of O-linked oligosaccharide. It also acts as a substrate for synthesis of chitin, a vital element of cell walls in fungi and of exoskeletons of arthropods and insects.

Application

Uridine 5′-diphospho-N-acetylgalactosamine disodium salt has been used as a substrate for polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (ppGalNAc-T).

Glycosyltransferases: Tools for Synthesis and Modification of Glycans

The presence of multiple functional groups and stereocenters in complex carbohydrates makes them challenging targets for the organic chemist.

Glycosyltransferases

Glycosyltransferases were initially considered to be specific for a single glycosyl donor and acceptor, which led to the one enzyme-one linkage concept. Subsequent observations have refuted the theory of absolute enzymatic specificity by describing the transfer of analogs of some nucleoside mono- or diphosphate sugar donors.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
