Description

n-Acetyl-α-D-Galactosamine 1-Phosphate, Sodium Salt is a crucial biochemical intermediate and activated sugar nucleotide precursor. This compound matters for its role in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids, serving as a key substrate for glycosyltransferases. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostic sectors for enzyme studies, oligosaccharide synthesis, and the development of therapeutic agents.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a high-purity substrate for studying the kinetics and mechanisms of specific glycosyltransferases, particularly those involved in O-glycosylation pathways.
• Enzymatic Synthesis: Serves as a donor molecule in the in vitro enzymatic synthesis of complex oligosaccharides, glycopeptides, and glycolipids for structural and functional studies.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in the research and development of novel therapeutics targeting glycosylation-related diseases, including certain cancers and congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs).
• Diagnostic Reagent Production: Acts as a key component in formulating enzyme-coupled assays and diagnostic kits for measuring glycosyltransferase activity in clinical samples.
• Glycoengineering: Utilized in cell-free systems and metabolic engineering approaches to produce tailored glycoconjugates with desired biological properties.
