Characterisation of sugar nucleotides in colostrum of dairy domestic farms animals
The biological significance and heterogeneity of bovine, caprine and ovine colostrum sugar nucleotides is unclear. Colostrum sugar nucleotides and sugar monophosphates were purified and characterised with 1H-NMR spectroscopy. UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) and UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) were identified in colos...

| Summary: | The biological significance and heterogeneity of bovine, caprine and ovine colostrum sugar nucleotides is unclear. Colostrum sugar nucleotides and sugar monophosphates were purified and characterised with 1H-NMR spectroscopy. UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) and UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) were identified in colostrum of Holstein and Brown Swiss cows; UDP-Gal, UDP-Glc, UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine (UDP-GalNAc) and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) were found in Japanese Saanen goat colostrum. UDP-Gal, UDP-Glc, UDP-GalNAc and UDP-GlcNAc were found in Corriedale sheep but not in the Suffolk and Fraise Land breeds. The presence/absence of these sugar nucleotides in colostrum is heterogeneous among dairy domestic farm animals and the three sheep breeds. In addition, a nucleotide, uridine‐ribose diphosphate (UDP) was identified in the colostra of Japanese Saanen goat, and Suffolk and Fraiseland sheep, while uridine-ribose monophosphate (UMP) was detected in the colostrum of Brown Swiss cow and the three breed sheep. N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate (GlcNAc-1-P) was also identified in the colostrum of the goat and two cow breeds. |
