The carbohydrate moiety of mouse submandibular mucin (MSM) contains mainly D-mannose and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose together with sialic acid, D-galactose, and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose. O-Glycosylically bound saccharides, obtained by treatment of MSM with alkaline borohydride, were shown by methylation analysis to have the structure: alpha-NeuAc-(2----3)-beta-Gal-(1----3)-GalNAc-ol. N-Glycosylically bound saccharides obtained from MSM by hydrazinolysis, and analysed by 500-MHz 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy, were shown to have the following comprehensive structures.
