CAS 176106-81-3: Lewis X Trisaccharide, Methyl Glycoside
Description:Lewis X trisaccharide, methyl glycoside, is a carbohydrate compound characterized by its structure as a trisaccharide, which consists of three monosaccharide units linked together. This compound is a derivative of the Lewis X antigen, a carbohydrate structure that plays a significant role in cell-cell recognition and adhesion processes, particularly in the context of immune responses and cancer biology. The methyl glycoside form indicates that a methyl group is attached to the anomeric carbon of one of the sugar units, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. Typically, such glycosides are more stable and less reactive than their corresponding free sugars. Lewis X trisaccharide is often studied for its biological significance, including its interactions with selectins and its potential applications in therapeutic and diagnostic fields. The CAS number 176106-81-3 uniquely identifies this specific chemical substance, facilitating its recognition in scientific literature and databases. Overall, this compound exemplifies the complexity and importance of carbohydrate chemistry in biological systems.
