Chitotetraose tetrahydrochloride(Cat No.:M128054)is a tetrameric oligosaccharide consisting of four β-(1→4)-linked D-glucosamine units, typically obtained from the partial hydrolysis of chitosan. Presented as a tetrahydrochloride salt, it exhibits enhanced water solubility and chemical stability, making it suitable for various research and pharmaceutical applications. Chitotetraose is studied for its antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant activities, and serves as a substrate for chitosanase in enzymatic activity assays. Its defined structure allows detailed investigations into glycan–protein interactions, cellular uptake mechanisms, and potential use in drug delivery systems, regenerative medicine, and biomaterials science.
