General description
N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is the acetylated derivative of glucosamine (GlcN). It is an important component of proteoglycans, glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and other building units found in connective tissue.
Application
N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine has been used:
- as sugar for competitive inhibition in lectin histochemistry
- as a component in Barbour-Stonner-Kelly (BSK) medium for cultivating Borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes strains
- as a component of binding buffer to suspend Streptococcus pneumoniae strains for inhibition assay to examine the specificity of M-ficolin binding to S. pneumoniae strains
Biochem/physiol Actions
N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is mainly used in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.
