CAS 18615-50-4: 2-ACETAMIDO-2-DEOXY-B-D-GLUCOSYLAMINE

Description: 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucosylamine, commonly referred to as N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), is an amino sugar derived from glucose. It is characterized by the presence of an acetamido group at the C-2 position of the glucopyranose ring. This compound is a key building block in the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids, playing a crucial role in cellular processes such as cell signaling and structural integrity of the extracellular matrix. GlcNAc is also involved in the biosynthesis of chitin, a major component of the exoskeletons of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi. The substance is typically a white crystalline powder, soluble in water, and exhibits a sweet taste. Its biological significance extends to its involvement in various metabolic pathways and its potential therapeutic applications, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. As a naturally occurring compound, it is found in various biological systems and is of interest in both biochemistry and medicinal chemistry.
