N-acetylglucosamine
The name of N-acetylglucosamine D-type chemical system is 2-acetamide-2-deoxy-D-glucose.
stay Bacterial cell wall Of the cell wall chitin , dynamic plant cell Of glycoprotein 、 Mucopolysaccharide It is widely distributed as polysaccharide component in the supporting structural materials of cells or tissues. These polysaccharides are hydrolyzed with strong acid and can be removed acetyl Radical free D- Glucosamine 。 Synthetic pathway
Announce Biosynthetic pathway Yes Acetyl CoA Glucosamine-6- phosphoric acid N- Acetylation And then convert N-acetylglucosamine 1-phosphate into UDP N-acetylglucosamine Nucleotide sugar By sugar acyl Conversion reaction into polysaccharide chain.
