Lactosamine(CAT: C000241) is a fundamental structural component in various biological contexts. It serves as the backbone for numerous cell surface glycans, including sialylated glycans and keratin sulfates, contributing to their stability and function. Lactosamine is a crucial structural element in Lewis-type antigens, playing a pivotal role in blood group determinants and cell recognition processes. Moreover, it forms the basis of human milk oligosaccharides, which are essential components of breast milk with potential health benefits for infants.
