QUICK LINKS

Disialyllacto-N-tetraose is a complex carbohydrate structure that consists of four sugar units linked together. It is composed of two sialic acid residues, which are a type of sugar, attached to a lactose molecule. The sialic acid residues are connected to the lactose through a specific type of bond known as an N-glycosidic bond. Disialyllacto-N-tetraose is found in various biological systems, including human milk, where it serves as a component of human milk oligosaccharides.
