Man-2b

Oligomannose-2b; Mannobiose-di-(N-acetyl-D-glucosamine); Man-2b N-linked oligosaccharide; Man2(GlcNac)2

Man-2b is a specific oligosaccharide and a key intermediate in the synthesis of N-linked glycans. Its structure is a branched chain of two mannose units. This compound is a precursor to more complex N-glycans and is crucial for the proper folding and function of many proteins.
