β-1,3-Glucan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide that is widely researched for its structural role in the cell walls of fungi, bacteria, and certain plants. In research, it is frequently examined for its ability to activate immune responses, as it is recognized by the immune system′s pattern recognition receptors. It also serves as a model compound to study the physicochemical properties of polysaccharides, including solubility, viscosity, and the ability to form gels or films. β-1,3-Glucan is utilized in the study of fungal biology and ecology, helping scientists understand the structure-function relationship of fungal cell walls and their resistance to environmental stresses. Additionally, this compound is used in agricultural research to enhance the innate resistance of plants to pathogens by priming their defense mechanisms. It also plays a role in the development of biodegradable materials and biofilms due to its biocompatible and structural properties.
