D-Glucosamine 6-phosphate sodium salt (CAS 70442-23-8)
QUICK LINKS
D-Glucosamine 6-phosphate sodium salt, also referred to as GlcN6P-Na, is a naturally occurring sugar derivative that is present in the human body. It plays a role as an intermediate in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, essential components of the extracellular matrix. Its utilization in scientific research has provided insights into the involvement of glycosaminoglycans in cellular signaling, regulation, and the structural and functional aspects of proteins. During the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans, D-Glucosamine 6-phosphate sodium salt undergoes conversion to UDP-GlcN6P. Subsequently, UDP-GlcN6P serves as a substrate for the enzyme UDP-GlcNAc:glycosaminoglycan glycosyltransferase, facilitating the transfer of the glycosaminoglycan moiety onto UDP-GlcNAc.
