Properties
Description
Fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (synonym: fucose-CS) is a structurally modified glycosaminoglycan derivative characterized by covalent attachment of fucose residues to the chondroitin sulfate backbone, combining the native anti-inflammatory properties of chondroitin with fucose's role in cellular recognition processes.
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→147 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
Fucosylated chondroitin sulfate can be used for its potential to investigate fucose-modified sulfation patterns in glycosaminoglycan signaling.
