N-乙酰-D-葡萄糖胺, N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine

Beta-N-Acetylglucosamine, also known as N-acetyl-D-glucosamine or glcnac-beta, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acylaminosugars. These are organic compounds containing a sugar linked to a chain through N-acyl group. Beta-N-Acetylglucosamine is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Beta-N-Acetylglucosamine has been detected in multiple biofluids, such as feces and saliva. Within the cell, Beta-N-acetylglucosamine is primarily located in the cytoplasm. Beta-N-Acetylglucosamine can be converted into alpha-D-galp-(1->4)-beta-D-glcpnac.

Chitin is an aminoglycan consisting of beta-(1->4)-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues. It has a role as a vulnerary, a human metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is an aminoglycan and a N-acylglucosamine.

The N-acetyl derivative of glucosamine.
