Chondroitin Sulphate Oligosaccharide dp4 1mg - CSO04

Prepared from high quality Chondroitin Sulfate (shark origin) by partial GAG-endolyase scission and isolated by high resolution gel filtration.

General formula:
 
∆UA - GalNAc,4S or 6S - (GlcA – GalNAc,4S or 6S)_n - GlcA - GalNAc,4S or 6S

where n is number of disaccharide units
n = 0 in a tetrasaccharide (dp4)
n =1 in a hexasaccharide (dp6)
n = 2 in an octasaccharide (dp8) etc…..

Uronic acid (∆UA) at the non-reducing ends of the oligosaccharides has a C4-C5 double bond as a result of endolytic scission.
The main disaccharide repeat in the origonal chondroitin sulphate is GlcA - GalNAc sulphated at C-4 or C-6 of the GalNAc residue.
