Alpha-1,4 Glucan Polysaccharide (N/A)

Target: N/A
Molecular classification: Polysaccharide, Carbohydrate, Biopolymer

Overview

Alpha-1,4 glucan polysaccharides are linear or slightly branched polymers composed of D-glucose monomers linked primarily by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. These molecules are a major structural component of starch (specifically the amylose fraction) and glycogen. In diagnostic contexts, they are targeted by antibodies, lectins, or enzymes for detection and identification of pathogens or metabolic abnormalities.

Other names: α-1,4 GlucanAlpha-1,4-Glucanα(1→4)-GlucanAmyloseAmylopectinGlycogenStarch
