Properties
Description
DPPS-modified chondroitin sulfate (DPPS-CS) introduces phosphatidylserine moieties, mimicking apoptotic cell surfaces for improved phagocytic uptake.
Glycan Name
Chondroitin sulfate
Glycan Structure
The glycan structure of chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of repeating disaccharide units. Each unit consists of:
N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) (β1→4 linked)
D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) (β1→132 linked)
Source
Chemical synthesis
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
This product is soluble in most organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, DMSO, and THF, and exhibits excellent solubility in water.
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
Chondroitin sulfate-1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine can be used for its potential to study phosphoserine-mediated mineralization in bone regeneration scaffolds.
