Description
GDP-D-Man.2Na, or guanosine diphosphate D-mannose disodium salt, is a nucleotide sugar that plays a crucial role in glycosylation and carbohydrate metabolism. It serves as an activated form of D-mannose, a sugar involved in the biosynthesis of glycans, glycoproteins, and glycolipids.
Features
- Molecular Composition: GDP-D-Man.2Na consists of a guanosine diphosphate (GDP) group linked to D-mannose. The disodium salt form enhances its solubility and stability.
- Molecular Formula: C₁₆H₂₃N₅O₁₆P₂Na₂.
- Molecular Weight: Approximately 649.31 g/mol.
Applications
- Glycosylation Studies: GDP-D-Man is a donor substrate for glycosyltransferase enzymes, which transfer mannose residues to acceptor molecules during the synthesis of glycans and glycoconjugates.
- Carbohydrate Metabolism: It plays a role in the biosynthesis of mannose-rich glycans, which are critical for protein folding, stability, and function.
- Enzyme Research: GDP-D-Man is used to study the activity and specificity of enzymes like mannosyltransferases, which are involved in glycosylation pathways.
- Disease Research: Altered levels of GDP-D-Man are associated with certain metabolic disorders, and it is studied to understand its impact on cellular processes.
