Preferred Label : Rhamnogalacturonans;
MeSH definition : Types of polysaccharides that are components of the plant cell wall pectin matrix.
Rhamnogalacturonan I is characterized by a backbone of the repeating disaccharide
(4)-alpha-D-galacturonic acid-(1,2)-alpha-L-rhamnose-(1,-) with many of the rhamnose
residues substituted at C-4 with side chains of various neutral sugars linked together
in various ways. Rhamnogalacturonan II type is complex, highly branched polysaccharide
where the backbone consists exclusively of D-galacturonic acid units.;
