Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Acetyl-D-glucosamine
DescriptionN-Acetyl-D-glucosamine belongs to the class of chemical entities known as acylaminosugars. These are organic compounds containing a sugar linked to a chain through N-acyl group. N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine can be biosynthesized from chitobiose; which is catalyzed by the enzyme Beta-hexosaminidase subunit alpha. In addition, N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine can be converted into N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate; which is mediated by the enzyme N-acetyl-D-glucosamine kinase. In cattle, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the amino sugar metabolism pathway.
