- About Glycans
KH Neochem, aiming to achieve our “VISION 2030＊＊＊,” has designated “Environment,” “Healthcare,” and “Electronics” as strategic domains. “KH i-Lab,” a newly established research hub, has been dedicated to accelerating research and development and driving creation of new businesses by leveraging an open innovation strategy. In the healthcare domain, KH Neochem has focused on the potential of glycans, and has developed proprietary glycans and manufacturing technologies.
In living organisms, glycans are linked to proteins and lipids on cell surfaces and within cells. Due to modulating the function and stability of the binding substances, glycoproteins and glycolipids influence various biological events such as cell adhesion and differentiation. It has been known that many diseases and disorders are associated with glycan abnormalities. Along with nucleic acids and proteins, glycans are considered “the third life chain” because of their involvement in essential biological functions.
As the third life chain, glycans have been extensively studied in the life science fields to elucidate vital biological processes and to develop new therapeutics. However, the chemical synthesis of glycans remains challenging due to their structural complexity and diversity. As a result, ensuring a stable and sufficient supply of glycans continues to be a challenge for both scientific research and industrial applications.KH Neochem has developed original glycan manufacturing technology to ensure a stable supply and is accelerating marketing efforts to explore partners for value creation through glycan applications.
