Common NameN-acetyl-3-amino-3,6-dideoxy-d-galactose
DescriptionN-acetyl-3-amino-3,6-dideoxy-d-galactose is a carbohydrate derivative belonging to the class of amino sugars. Its chemical structure features an acetyl group and amino functionality on a d-galactose backbone, specifically modified to include dideoxy characteristics at the 3 and 6 positions. This compound is significant in the context of microbial cell walls, as it has been identified as a constituent of the cell wall in Xanthomonas campestris, a plant pathogenic bacterium (PMID:5846977 ). The presence of N-acetyl-3-amino-3,6-dideoxy-d-galactose in bacterial cell walls suggests its involvement in structural integrity and possibly in the modulation of interactions with host plants. Additionally, this metabolite may participate in various biosynthetic pathways related to glycoprotein and glycolipid synthesis, reflecting its importance in cellular processes and microbial physiology.
