Properties
Description
Linoleic acid-conjugated chondroitin sulfate (LA-CS) incorporates omega-6 fatty acids through hydrophobic modification, enhancing cellular uptake via lipid raft interactions.
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→125 linked)
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Linoleic acid
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-linoleic acid can be used for its potential to characterize fatty acid interactions in membrane fluidity regulation experiments.
