Application

Chondroitin, a glucosaminoglycan (GAG), is a polysaccharide chain of alternating units of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) and glucuronic acid (GlcA) that can be sulfated on the either or both GalNAc and GlcA units. Chondroitin and its sulfates are frequently attached to proteins to form proteoglycans.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Other Notes

ΔUA = 4-deoxy-L-threo-hex-4-enopyranosyluronic acid; GalNAc = N-acetyl-D-galactosamine; 6S = 6-sulfate

Chondroitin sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan composed of N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid. It attaches to a core protein to form chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG). Being a major component of the brain extracellular matrix, CSPGs are involved in neural development, axon pathfinding
