Description

n-Acetylneuraminyl-(2-6)-Galactose is a specific sialylated disaccharide, a key structural motif found in glycoproteins and glycolipids. This compound is essential for research and development in glycobiology, serving as a critical building block, reference standard, and substrate. It is primarily utilized by scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and life science research sectors for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions, developing glycan-based therapeutics, and producing high-purity biochemical reagents.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: As a reference standard and substrate for studying sialyltransferase and neuraminidase (sialidase) enzyme activity and specificity.
• Pharmaceutical Development: A key intermediate in the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycomimetics for drug discovery, particularly for anti-inflammatory and anti-viral agents.
• Diagnostic Reagent Production: Used in the manufacturing of calibration standards and components for diagnostic kits targeting sialic acid-related biomarkers.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Serves as a crucial building block for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of more complex glycans and neoglycoconjugates.
• Cell Biology Studies: Employed in research to understand cell surface recognition, signaling, and adhesion processes mediated by sialic acid-containing structures.
• Quality Control: Acts as a purity standard for the analysis of biological samples and other carbohydrate-based products.
