Product Description

Hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose is a hexamer of N-acetylglucosamine, a subunit of the natural polymer chitin. It functions as an elicitor in plants, inducing the expression of chitinases.1,2 Like chitin and some of its derivatives, hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose is a substrate of lysozyme.3 It also binds LysM domains on certain proteins, including an endopeptidase of T. thermophilus.4 Hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose heightens the immune response against Pseudomonas and Listeria in mice, stimulates cytokine secretion in mesenchymal stem cells, and inhibits nitric oxide production by activated macrophages Synonyms: N-Acetylchitohexaose, NACOS-6, O-2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(14-O-2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)-O-2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosy-(14)-O-2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)-O-2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)-2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-D-glucose CAS No: 38854-46-5 Molecular Formula: C48H80N6O31 Molecular Weight: 1237.2 Appearance: Crystalline solid Purity: 95% Solubility: PBS (pH 7.2): 10mg/ml Storage and Stability: May be stored at RT for short-term only.
