CAS 9010-72-4
:Zymosans
Description:
Zymosans, identified by the CAS number 9010-72-4, are polysaccharides primarily composed of glucose units linked by β-(1→3) and β-(1→6) glycosidic bonds. They are derived from the cell walls of certain fungi, particularly yeast, and are classified as a type of glucan. Zymosans are known for their biological activity, particularly in stimulating the immune system, making them of interest in both pharmaceutical and nutritional applications. They exhibit solubility in water and can form gels, which is beneficial for various industrial uses, including food and cosmetics. Additionally, zymosans can serve as prebiotics, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Their structural characteristics contribute to their functional properties, such as viscosity and stability, which are important in formulations. Overall, zymosans are valued for their potential health benefits and versatility in various applications, reflecting their significance in both scientific research and industry.

Zymosan
CAS:<p>Zymosan is a polysaccharide-based substance derived from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a species of yeast. It is primarily composed of beta-glucans, mannoproteins, and other complex carbohydrates. The mode of action of Zymosan involves the activation of the innate immune system through the interaction with pathogen recognition receptors, such as Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and Dectin-1, on the surface of immune cells. This binding triggers a cascade of intracellular signaling pathways, leading to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other mediators, effectively simulating an immune response.</p>Purity:Min. 95%
