DoLPHiN: A structural and functional database of natural polysaccharides with health benefits

Title Value
Polysaccharide fCS-St
Source Name Holothuria
Weight 100 kDa
Main Glycosidic Bond(s)
Main Chain The backbone of the polysaccharide is made up by repeating disaccharide units of alternating α-D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) and N-acetyl-β-D-galactosamine (GalNAc), the same sequence as mammalian chondroitin sulfate.
Side Chain In the case of the sea cucumber chondroitin sulfate, the α-D-glucuronic acid residues bear different sulfated fucose branches at its 3-O-position.
NMR Information yes
Monosaccharide
glucuronic acid 33.34%
n-acetyl-d-galactosamine 26.66%
fucose 40.0%
Physiological Functions anti-coagulation
Intestinal Microbiota Regulation unknown
