N-Acetyllactosamine
N-Acetyllactosamine, also known as galb1-4glcnacb or lacnac, 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. N-Acetyllactosamine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Structural unit in higher oligosaccharides present in human milk N-Acetyllactosamine (LacNAc), a nitrogen-containing disaccharide, is an important component of various oligosaccharides such as glycoproteins and sialyl Lewis X. N-Acetyllactosamine can be used as the starting material for the synthesis of various oligosaccharides. N-Acetyllactosamine has prebiotic effects[1][2].
Lacto-N-biose I
Lacto-N-biose I is a common oligosaccharide found in human milk and in numerous other tissues. Oligosaccharides are important components of glycoproteins and glycolipids and also occur as free oligosaccharides in several body fluids.(PMID: 14993226; 11925506; 11432777; 9760191; 9592127; 8608564; 7591266; 7627975; 7766648; 1490103; 3146987; 6689405) [HMDB] Lacto-N-biose I is a common oligosaccharide found in human milk and in numerous other tissues.
