| UDP-N-azidoacetylglucosamine disodium salt is a modified nucleotide sugar derivative where UDP is linked to a glucosamine sugar moiety with an azidoacetyl group attached to the nitrogen atom. The disodium salt form ensures solubility. Similar to UDP-N-azidoacetylgalactosamine, the azidoacetyl modification allows for bioorthogonal labeling and conjugation reactions. This compound is useful in the study of glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis, protein glycosylation, and glycan-mediated cellular processes. |
