N-(4-pentynoyl)-galactosamine tetraacylated (Ac4GalNAl)

Description

N-(4-pentynoyl)-galactosamine tetraacylated (Ac4 GalNAl) can be used for the identification and characterization of specific surface groups of glycoproteins. The alkyne groups can react with azides via copper-catalyzed Click Chemistry. The acetyl groups on the glucose allow for easier penetration through the cell membrane.
