"Carbohydrates and Sugars"

Supplier: Bioss

Glycosyltransferases that mediate the regio- and stereoselective transfer of sugars, such as the fucosyltransferases, determine cell surface-carbohydrate profiles, which are essential interfaces for biological recognition processes. Fucosyltransferases (FucTs) catalyze the covalent association of fucose to different positional linkages on sugar acceptor molecules. The carbohydrate moieties that are generated are covalently attached to cell surfaces and are necessary to ensure a surface contour that satisfies a variety of physiological roles. FucT-XI is a 492 amino acid single-pass type II membrane protein that belongs to the glycosyltransferase 10 family. Localizing to Golgi apparatus, FucT-XI may act as a fucosyltransferase and exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms. The gene encoding FucT-XI maps to mouse chromosome 14 A3.

Simple carbohydrate. Sucrose is hydrolyzed to glucose and fructose by dilute acids and by invertase, a yeast enzyme. Upon hydrolysis the optical rotation falls and is negative when the hydrolysis is complete. The mixture of glucose and fructose is known as "Invert sugar".

The MetaCarb™ line of carbohydrate columns provides high resolution columns for applications requiring high performance carbohydrate and organic acid analysis. These columns contain sulfonated polystyrene resins in the Calcium (87C), Hydrogen (87H), and Lead (87P) forms, and provide a wide range of selectivities for carbohydrate and organic analysis. They are widely used in the food and beverage industries for analysis of sweeteners, corn and cane sugars, fruit juices, soft drinks, beer and dairy products.

1-O-Methyl-α-D-mannopyranoside is a methylated monosaccharide derivative of D-mannose. It features a methoxy group at the anomeric position, locking the sugar into the α-pyranose configuration. This stable, non-reducing sugar analog is commonly used in carbohydrate chemistry, glycosidase substrate studies, and lectin-binding assays due to its structural similarity to naturally occurring mannose.

Thermo Scientific Pierce Sodium meta-Periodate is a gentle oxidizing agent that cleaves cis-diols in carbohydrate sugars to create amine-reactive aldehydes, providing many uses relating to the study and detection of glycoproteins.

Supplier: Abcam

Long-wavelength fluorescent labeling agent for cis-diols (sugars) at high pH values on cell surfaces and in vitro for carbohydrate determination in glycoproteins and for HPLC analysis of sugars. This labeling agent can be used in conjunction with other fluorophores, for multiplexed analysis, in fluorescence energy transfer (FRET) studies or in a high-throughput format (Ex 520/Em 544). The fluorescence emission of the eosin labeled compound can exhibit environment sensitive fluorescence emission properties. The eosin derivatives can also exhibit phosphorescence with an emission maximum at ~680 nm. It has found extensive use in detection of glycosylation of hemoglobin for diabetes mellitis diagnosis.

This gene is a member of the beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase (beta3GalT) gene family. This family encodes type II membrane-bound glycoproteins with diverse enzymatic functions using different donor substrates (UDP-galactose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine) and different acceptor sugars (N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine). The beta3GalT genes are distantly related to the Drosophila Brainiac gene and have the protein coding sequence contained in a single exon. The beta3GalT proteins also contain conserved sequences not found in the beta4GalT or alpha3GalT proteins. The carbohydrate chains synthesized by these enzymes are designated as type 1, whereas beta4GalT enzymes synthesize type 2 carbohydrate chains. The ratio of type 1:type 2 chains changes during embryogenesis. By sequence similarity, the beta3GalT genes fall into at least two groups: beta3GalT4 and 4 other beta3GalT genes (beta3GalT1-3, beta3GalT5). The encoded protein of this gene does not use N-acetylglucosamine as an acceptor sugar at all. Multiple transcript variants that are alternatively spliced in the 5' UTR have been described; they all encode the same protein.
