UDP-GalNAz disodium
Synonyms: UDP-N-azidoacetylgalactosamine disodium
UDP-GalNAz disodium is an analogue of UDP-GalNAc disodium, serving as a donor substrate for N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases, which facilitate the transfer of GalNAc to various saccharide or peptide acceptors. This compound features an azide group, making it a valuable reagent for click chemistry applications. UDP-GalNAz disodium can participate in copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) reactions with alkyne-bearing molecules, as well as strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions involving DBCO or BCN groups. It is useful in the study of glycosylation pathways and the synthesis of complex glycoproteins.
