Identification
Name:N-Acetyl-b-D-galactosamine
DescriptionN-Acetyl-b-D-galactosamine is one of the eight essential sugars. It is important for cell communication. In galactose metabolism pathway, it is converted to N-Acetyl-b-D-galactosamine-6P by N-acetylgalactosamine-specific phosphotransferase enzyme B (EC 2.7.1.69).
