Metabolic glycoengineering is a powerful strategy that allows scientists to precisely manipulate cellular glycosylation. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are committed to providing the essential building blocks for this field, including N-azidoacetylgalactosamine-tetraacylated (Ac4GalNAz, CAS: 653600-56-7).

Ac4GalNAz functions as a bioorthogonal building block. When supplied to cells, it is taken up and incorporated into newly synthesized glycans, effectively replacing the natural N-Acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc). This process introduces an azide group into the glycan structure, which can then be specifically tagged using click chemistry. This makes Ac4GalNAz a cornerstone of modern metabolic glycoengineering tools.

The ability to precisely label glycans is crucial for understanding their diverse roles in biological processes, such as cell recognition, signaling, and immune response. The N-azidoacetylgalactosamine-tetraacylated metabolic labeling approach provides a non-radioactive and highly specific method for tracking these complex molecules.

The efficacy of Ac4GalNAz is further amplified by its compatibility with various click chemistry reactions. Researchers can employ these reactions to conjugate the azide-tagged glycans with fluorescent reporters, biotin tags, or other functional molecules. This allows for sophisticated analysis, including imaging, quantification, and affinity purification of modified glycoproteins.

By providing Ac4GalNAz, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. aims to empower researchers to delve deeper into the complexities of glycosylation. We believe that such advanced reagents are vital for driving innovation in areas ranging from fundamental biological research to the development of new diagnostics and therapeutics.
