    Product Description

    D-Glucosamine-6-sulfate is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan.1 It activates the glmS ribozyme from B. subtilis, a Gram-positive bacterium, when used at a concentration of 200 µM.2 It has been used to form polyvalent dendrimer conjugates that inhibit angiogenesis and endothelial cell proliferation induced by FGF-2 in vitro and prevent scar tissue formation in a rabbit model of glaucoma surgery.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
