d glucosamine 6 sulfate

D-Glucosamine-6-sulfate is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan. It activates the glmS ribozyme from B. subtilis, a Gram-positive bacterium, when used at a concentration of 200 μM. It has been used to form polyvalent dendrimer conjugates that inhibit angiogenesis and endothelial cell proliferation induced by FGF-2 in vitro and prevent scar tissue formation in a rabbit model of glaucoma surgery.

N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-sulfate (sodium) is a biochemical reagent utilized in glycoscience research. This field studies the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of carbohydrates, encompassing carbohydrate chemistry, enzyme activities in glycan formation and degradation, protein-glycan interactions, and the roles of glycans in biological systems. These studies are closely linked with fundamental research, biomedical applications, and biotechnology.
