N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG) is a monosaccharide derivative of glucose. It is released by the action of O-GlcNAcase, in mammalian systems from proteins that have been post-translationally modified with O-GlcNAc.

NAGKi is an inhibitor of N-acetylmannosamine kinase (NAMK) and N-acetylglucosamine kinase (NAGK).

UDP-N-acetyl-D-Glucosamine sodium hydrate is a UDP-sugar compound. It participates in multiple metabolic pathways in organisms, plays a key role in bacterial and fungal cell wall synthesis, and is often used as an important tool molecule for studying cell signal transduction and pathogen infection mechanisms.

UDP-GlcNAc is a fundamental component and precursor of bacterial peptidoglycan. Additionally, UDP-GlcNAc acts as an agonist for the P2Y14 receptor, which can inhibit the formation of cAMP.

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.
