Glucosamine (C6H14NO5) is an amino sugar that is an important precursor in the biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids. Glucosamine is commonly used as a treatment for osteoarthritis, although its acceptance as a medical therapy varies.
Biochemistry
D-Glucosamine is made naturally in the form of glucosamine-6-phosphate, and is the biochemical precursor of all nitrogen-containing sugars (Roseman et al., 2001). Specifically, glucosamine-6-phosphate is synthesized from fructose-6-phosphate and glutamine (Ghosh et al., 1960) as the first step of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway *. The end-product of this pathway is UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, which is then used for making glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, and glycolipids.
