Hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose

Hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose is an inducer of disease resistance in crop plants, which could elicit an increase of lignification-related and antioxidative enzymes in soybean plants. Hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose is a substrate of lysozyme. Hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose shows antitumor effect[1][2][3].
