Properties
Description
Estrogen-functionalized chondroitin sulfate (estrogen-chondroitin sulfate) combines steroid hormone signaling capacity with chondroitin's extracellular matrix affinity through ester linkage chemistry.
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→16 linked)
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Estrogen
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-estrogen can be used for its potential to analyze hormone-conjugated polysaccharides for receptor-mediated endocytosis.
