The molecule is an amino disaccharide that is alpha-D-glactopyranose in which the hydroxy group at position 3 has been converted into the corresponding 2-acetamido-alpha-D-galactopyranoside. It is a member of acetamides, an amino disaccharide and a galactosamine oligosaccharide. It derives from an alpha-D-galactose and a N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine.
