UDP-GalNAz disodium (Synonyms: UDP-N-azidoacetylgalactosamine disodium)

Catalog No.GC64868

UDP-GalNAz disodium (UDP-N-azidoacetylgalactosamine disodium) is an analog of UDP-GalNAc. UDP-GalNAc serves as a critical precursor for various glycosylation reactions and functions as a donor substrate for many N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases, which transfer GalNAc from the nucleotide sugar to carbohydrate or peptide acceptors.

Description of UDP-GalNAz disodium

UDP-GalNAz disodium (UDP-N-azidoacetylgalactosamine disodium) is an analog of UDP-GalNAc. UDP-GalNAc serves as a critical precursor for various glycosylation reactions and functions as a donor substrate for many N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases, which transfer GalNAc from the nucleotide sugar to carbohydrate or peptide acceptors[1]. As a substrate for UDP-GalNAc polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (GalNAc-Ts), UDP-GalNAc enables GalNAc-Ts to catalyze mucin-type O-glycosylation by transferring α-GalNAc from UDP-GalNAc to serine (Ser) or threonine (Thr) residues of target proteins. This process plays a vital role in regulating high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and influences lipid metabolism[2]. UDP-GalNAc also acts as a precursor for the synthesis of Escherichia coli K4 capsular polysaccharides. Metabolic engineering of E. coli K4 strains using UDP-GalNAc can enhance the production of fructose chondroitin[3]. Additionally, UDP-GalNAc serves as a substrate for β-N-acetylhexosaminidases, generating precursors for the cyst wall of Entamoeba histolytica, thereby aiding in understanding the biochemical interactions of this parasite within the colon environment[4]. Furthermore, UDP-GalNAc functions as a substrate for human blood group A glycosyltransferase, driving the biosynthesis of blood group A antigens[5].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
