Product Information

• Name: 5-Thio-N-acetylglucosamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Thio-N-acetylglucosamine is a microtubule inhibitor that binds to o-glcnac, a posttranslational modification of proteins that regulates the morphology and cycling of stem cells. 5-Thio-N-acetylglucosamine has been shown to inhibit the transcriptional activity of o-glcnacase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of o-glcnac to glucosamine. This drug also inhibits the metabolic activity of neural progenitor cells, which may be due to its ability to regulate subpopulations with concomitant expression of markers such as Oct4 and Sox2.
