xyloglucan

xyloglucan
Plant cell-wall polysaccharide containing a backbone of b( 1-4) -linked glucose residues to most of which single xylose residues are attached as side chains. Galactose, fucose and arabinose may also be present in smaller amounts. It is the major hemicellulose of dicotyledonous primary walls, and acts as a food reserve in some seeds.
