3-O-Methyl-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine（Cat No.:R000644）is a synthetic monosaccharide derivative of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), featuring a methyl group at the 3-hydroxyl position. This structural modification enhances its chemical stability and can influence glycosidic bond formation, making it valuable in glycobiology, enzymology, and carbohydrate-based drug design. It is commonly used as a substrate analog or inhibitor to study glycosyltransferases, glycosidases, and cell surface carbohydrate interactions. 3-O-Methyl-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine aids in exploring glycan processing, cell signaling, and protein glycosylation, and is instrumental in developing glycomimetics and tools for carbohydrate-mediated therapeutic strategies.
