N-Acetyl-D-galactosamine is an aminosugar derivative that acts as the initial O-linked sugar in serine and threonine residues in protein glycosylations. N-Acetyl-D-galactosamine is a type of aldohexose known as 2-acetamido-2-deoxygalactose, where the hydroxyl group at position 2 is substituted by an N-acetyl group. It plays a vital role in the structure of N- and O-linked glycoproteins, glycolipids, gangliosides, blood groups, glycosaminoglycans, and human milk oligosaccharides.
