AdipoGen N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (5 g)
Supplier: AdipoGen AGCN20489G005
Chemical. CAS: 7512-17-6. Formula: C8H15NO6. MW: 221.2. Prepared by using chitin as a substrate. N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (D-GlcNAc) is a non-toxic derivatized glucose monosaccharide found in polymers (Peptidoglycan; PGN) of bacterial cell walls, chitin (e.g. fungi, invertebrates, crustaceans), hyaluronic acids and various glycans. It is also synthesized in the glycosylation pathway as uridine diphosphate (UDP-GlcNAc), which can then be released following degradation of glycosylated proteins. Atypical microbial danger signal that acts as a new activator of NLRP3 inflammasome by dissociating the enzyme hexokinase from the mitochondria. D-GlcNAc inhibits purified hexokinase, which is also involved in the glucose metabolism and obesity in mM range. For hexokinase dissociation from the mitochondria much higher concentrations are needed.
