In many respects, lactose is a unique disaccharide in living things. It is synthesized only in an adult, female mammal and has not been found as such in plants or lower animal forms. The ability of animals to synthesize lactose appears to be, therefore, a rather recent event in animal ...
Learn about disaccharides. Understand what a disaccharide is, how it is formed, & a list disaccharide examples. Also, explore their formula, structure, and function. Updated: 11/21/2023 Table of Contents What is a Disaccharide? Disaccharide Examples Lesson Summary...
Laura has a Masters of Science in Food Science and Human Nutrition and has taught college Science. So, maltose is a disaccharide that is made up of two glucose units. It has a slightly sweet taste, but it's most important function is in digestion. Since most carbohydrates are in a form...
Common disaccharides include lactose, maltose, and sucrose (Figure 5). Lactose is a disaccharide consisting of the monomers glucose and galactose. It is found naturally in milk. Maltose, or malt sugar, is a disaccharide formed by a dehydration reaction between two glucose molecules. The most ...
Primary Structure of a Small Glycopeptide Isolated from Human Glomerular Basement Membrane and Carrying a Major Antigenic Site The glycopeptides containing either the disaccharide or the heteropolysaccharide chains were purified, after enzymatic digestion of glomerular basement-mem...

Some of the GLUT proteins translocate between subcellular compartments and this facilitates the control of their function over long- and short-time scales. The control of GLUT function is necessary for a regulated supply of metabolites (mainly glucose) to tissues. Pathophysiological abnormalities in ...
endoplasmic reticulum via C-terminal KDEL-like signals. In addition toO-glucosylation activity, POGLUTs can also perform proteinO-xylosylation function, i.e., adding xylose (Xyl) from UDP-Xyl; however, both activities rely on residues of EGF repeats, active-site conformations of POGLUTs and sug...
