Description
Udp-alpha-d-n-acetylgalactosamine, disodium salt is a donor substrate for N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases. Udp-alpha-d-n-acetylgalactosamine, disodium salt is useful in the synthesis of aryl azide derivatives that can be employed in affinity labeling of glycosyltransferases and UDP-HexNAc pyrophosphorylase. Udp-alpha-d-n-acetylgalactosamine, disodium salt can be used to treat and prevent renal inflammation association with infection.
Chemical Properties
White to off-white crystalline powder
Uses
Uridine 5′-diphospho-
N-acetylgalactosamine disodium salt has been used as a substrate for polypeptide
N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (ppGalNAc-T).
Uses
Uridine 5′-Diphospho-N-acetylgalactosamine Disodium Salt can be used to treat and prevent renal inflammation association with infection.
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.
