β-D-Glucan

• UNSPSC Description:

  β-D-glucan is a natural non-digestible polysaccharide and high biocompatibility that can be selectively recognized by recognition receptors such as Dectin-1 and Toll-like receptors as well as being easily internalized by murine or human macrophages, which is likely to attribute to a target delivery[1]. β-d-glucan is an enteric delivery vehicle for probiotics[2].
