Product Information

• Name: Tri-b-GalNAc-b-alanine-PEG3-FITC
• Synonyms: Triantennary β-D-GalNAc-β-Alanine-PEG3-FITCTri-GalNAc-β-Ala-PEG3-FITC(β-GalNAc-sp)3-β-Ala-PEG3-FITCTris-GalNAc-β-Ala-PEG3-FITCTr is-β-GalNAc-β-Ala-PEG3-fluorescein isothiocyanate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tri-b-GalNAc-b-alanine-PEG3-FITC is a synthetic probe consisting of three GalNAc ( N-acetylgalactosamine) residues linked to a beta-alanine spacer, followed by a PEG3 linker and a fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) fluorophore. This probe is designed to mimic the natural glycosylation patterns found in mucins and other glycoproteins, allowing for the investigation of carbohydrate-protein interactions, particularly those involving the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) expressed on hepatocytes. The PEG3 linker provides flexibility and spacing between the glycan and the fluorescent tag, while the FITC moiety enables the detection and tracking of the probe using fluorescence-based techniques such as flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, and high-throughput screening assays. This versatile tool is valuable for researchers studying glycobiology, cell-cell interactions, and the development of targeted drug delivery systems.
