UDP-N-azidoacetylgalactosamine (UDP-GlcNAz) is an analogue of UDP-GalNAc, bearing an azido group on the N-acyl side chain. It acts as an unnatural substrate for the polypeptide N-R-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (ppGalNAcTs) which are enzymes that play a role in mucin-type O-linked glycoprotein biosynthesis. UDP-GlcNAz is accepted as a nucleotide-sugar donor, appending an azidosugar onto its native substrates, which can then be detected using azide-reactive chemical probes. The azide group can be detected by the conjugation with phosphine probes via the Staudinger ligation, or alkyne probes via cycloaddition reactions.
