N-Acetyl-D-galactosamine, 98%
Galectin Inhibitor
N-Acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) is a terminal amino sugar that acts as an inhibitor of galectins. It plays a crucial role in cellular interactions and is involved in the modulation of cell membrane permeability and tight junction protein expression. GalNAc exhibits significant biological activity by inhibiting the hemagglutinating effects of lectins, such as Soya bean agglutinin (SBA). This compound is widely utilized in research focusing on cellular signaling, immune response, and tissue engineering applications.
