CAS 14116-68-8: LACTO-N-TETRAOSE
Description:Lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) is a complex carbohydrate classified as an oligosaccharide, specifically a tetrasaccharide. It is composed of four monosaccharide units: two galactose, one glucose, and one N-acetylglucosamine. LNT is primarily found in human milk and plays a significant role in infant nutrition and gut health. It serves as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, and has been studied for its potential protective effects against pathogens. The structure of LNT contributes to its ability to inhibit the adhesion of harmful bacteria to the intestinal lining, thereby supporting immune function. Additionally, LNT is of interest in various biomedical applications, including its potential use in drug delivery systems and as a component in functional foods. Its CAS number, 14116-68-8, is a unique identifier that facilitates the identification and study of this oligosaccharide in scientific literature and databases. Overall, Lacto-N-tetraose is a significant compound in both nutrition and health research.
