Mannuronic acid（Cat No.:M024947）is a uronic acid derived from mannose, characterized by the oxidation of its terminal hydroxymethyl group to a carboxylic acid. It is a key monomer in alginic acid, a polysaccharide found in brown seaweed, where it alternates with guluronic acid. Mannuronic acid contributes to the gel-forming and viscosity-enhancing properties of alginates, widely used in pharmaceuticals, food, and biotechnology. Its linear structure and hydrophilic nature make it valuable in developing biocompatible materials, drug delivery systems, and wound dressings. It also serves as a biochemical probe in polysaccharide metabolism and enzyme activity studies.
