Poly-N-acetyllactosamine
IUPAC 名称
N-[(2R,3R,4S,5R)-3,5,6-trihydroxy-1-oxo-4-{[(2S,3R,4S,5R,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-2-yl]oxy}hexan-2-yl]acetamide
描述
Poly-N-acetyllactosamine is a unique carbohydrate composed of N-acetyllactosamine repeats. In particular, poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains are synthesized by repeated alternating additions of N-acetylglucosamine and galactose, catalyzed by -1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases (poly-N-acetyllactosamine synthase) and -1,4-galactosyltransferases. What is depicted and described in this MetaboCard is a single subunit structure. Poly-N-acetyllactosamine structures occur in mammalian glycoproteins in both N- and O-linked glycans. They represent a backbone for additional modifications by fucosyltransferases, sialyltransferases and sulfotransferases. These glycans have been suggested to be involved in biospecific interactions with selectins and other glycan-binding proteins. Moreover, the poly-Nacetyllactosamine chains in N-glycans have been found to promote tumor progression and metastasis (PMID: 12570780) [HMDB]
