General description

Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-GalNAc acts as a precursor in the biosynthesis of O-linked oligosaccharide. It also acts as a substrate for synthesis of chitin, a vital element of cell walls in fungi and of exoskeletons of arthropods and insects.

Application

Uridine 5′-diphospho-N-acetylgalactosamine disodium salt has been used as a substrate for polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (ppGalNAc-T).

A family of polypeptide GalNAc-transferases (GalNAc-Ts) initiates mucin-type O-glycosylation, transferring GalNAc onto hydroxyl groups of Ser and Thr residues of target substrates. The 20 GalNAc-T isoenzymes in humans are classified into nine subfamilies according to sequence similarity. GalNAc-Ts select their

Protein O-glycosylation is controlled by polypeptide GalNAc-transferases (GalNAc-Ts) that uniquely feature both a catalytic and lectin domain. The underlying molecular basis of how the lectin domains of GalNAc-Ts contribute to glycopeptide specificity and catalysis remains unclear. Here we present the
