Metabolite Identification
Common NamePoly-N-acetyllactosamine
DescriptionPoly-N-acetyllactosamine is a unique carbohydrate composed of N-acetyllactosamine repeats. In particular, poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains are synthesized by repeated alternating additions of N-acetylglucosamine and galactose, catalyzed by -1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases (poly-N-acetyllactosamine synthase) and -1,4-galactosyltransferases. What is depicted and described in this MetaboCard is a single subunit structure. Poly-N-acetyllactosamine structures occur in mammalian glycoproteins in both N- and O-linked glycans. They represent a backbone for additional modifications by fucosyltransferases, sialyltransferases and sulfotransferases. These glycans have been suggested to be involved in biospecific interactions with selectins and other glycan-binding proteins. Moreover, the poly-Nacetyllactosamine chains in N-glycans have been found to promote tumor progression and metastasis (PMID: 12570780 ).

Chemical Taxonomy
Description Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acyl glycosides of mono- and disaccharides. Fatty acyl glycosides of mono- and disaccharides are compounds composed of a mono- or disaccharide moiety linked to one hydroxyl group of a fatty alcohol or of a phosphorylated alcohol (phosphoprenols), a hydroxy fatty acid or to one carboxyl group of a fatty acid (ester linkage) or to an amino alcohol.
