N,N′,N′′-Triacetylchitotriose (TCT) is a triose oligosaccharide compound derived from chitin, consisting of three N-acetylglucosamine units. It is described to be a competitive inhibitor of Hen Egg Lysozyme and acts as a substrate for glycosylation reactions. N,N′,N′′-Triacetylchitotriose promotes the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids, which are important components of cell membranes.
