beta-Lactose
Beta-lactose is the beta-anomer of lactose. beta-Lactose contains a Lactosylceramide motif and is often attached to a Cer aglycon. beta-Lactose is a natural product found in Hypericum perforatum with data available. A disaccharide of GLUCOSE and GALACTOSE in human and cow milk. It is used in pharmacy for tablets, in medicine as a nutrient, and in industry. Beta-Lactose is the beta-pyranose form of the compound lactose [CCD]. D000074385 - Food Ingredients > D005503 - Food Additives D010592 - Pharmaceutic Aids > D005421 - Flavoring Agents Beta-pyranose form of the compound lactose [CCD] The beta-anomer of lactose. Lactose, a major sugar in the milk of most species, could regulate human’s intestinal microflora. Lactose, a major sugar in the milk of most species, could regulate human’s intestinal microflora. α-Lactose (α-D-Lactose) is the major sugar present in milk. Lactose exists in the form of two anomers, α and β. The α form normally crystallizes as a monohydrate[1][2]. α-Lactose (α-D-Lactose) is the major sugar present in milk. Lactose exists in the form of two anomers, α and β. The α form normally crystallizes as a monohydrate[1][2].
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].
Methyl beta-D-glucopyranoside
Methyl beta-D-glucopyranoside is found in cereals and cereal products. Methyl beta-D-glucopyranoside is present in Medicago sativa (alfalfa Methyl β-D-Galactopyranoside is an endogenous metabolite.
(N-acetylneuraminosyl(a2-6)lactosamine)
(N-acetylneuraminosyl(alpha2-6)lactosamine) is widely distributed among tissues and is involved in biological processes such as the regulation of the immune response and the progression of colon cancer. Sialylation represents one of the most frequently occurring terminations of the oligosaccharide chains of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Sialic acid is commonly found alpha,6-linked to N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc). The biosynthesis of the linkage is mediated by a member of the sialyltransferase family, the beta-galactoside alpha,6-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.1, ST6Gal.I). Although expressed by a single gene, this enzyme shows a complex pattern of regulation which allows its tissue- and stage-specific modulation. (PMID 11425186)
.6-Sialyllactosamine is an oligosaccharide found in human milk. Oligosaccharides in human milk inhibit enteric pathogens in vitro and in vivo. (PMID:10683228)
