Glycan Search

[This page enables combination of several criteria for search.]
[For example, one can search for glycans from a specific source (eg.Mus species), which belong to N-linked family and whose molecular weight falls between 500 and 1500.]
General Search
Glycan Scientific Name
Glycan Common Name
Glycan Family
Glycan Sub Family
Glycan ID
 
 
[eg1: For all N-linked structures, type 'N-linked', and choose 'is' for glycan family.]
[eg2: For all structures with scientific name beginning with Gal, type 'Gal', and choose 'begins with' for scientific name.]
Source Search
Species
Organ
Tissue
Cell Type
Disease
 
[For the glycans for which source information is available, this section provides search options for specific information. For instance, type 'cancer' in Disease box, and select 'is', to get all the structures that are known to be isolated from cancer cells.]
Nomenclature Search
IUPAC Code
Linear Code
 
[eg1. IUPAC Code = %Gal%Xyl%, to search for all structures with Galactose and Xylose.]
[eg2. Linear Code = %A%X% to search for all structures with Galactose and Xylose.]
Oligosaccharide Molecular Weight Search
Oligosaccharide Mol Wt. +/-
Oligosaccharide Mol Wt.(Permethylated) +/-
 
[eg1: options Mol Wt 1000 +/- 50 means searching for glycans with molecular weight in that range.]
[eg2: options Permethylated Mol Wt > 2000 means searching for glycans with permethylated Mol. Wt greater than 2000.]
Composition Search
HEX
PENT
DHEX
HEXNAC
UA
HEXN
NEUAC
NEUGC
KDN
 
Exact:  
[eg 1: HEX = 4, HEXNAC=4, Exact box not checked : structures with, at least, as many monosaccharides by composition.]
[eg 2: HEX = 4, HEXNAC=4, Exact box checked : structures with exactly as many monosaccharides by composition.]
