Xyloglucan is a hemicellulose that occurs in the primary cell wall of all vascular plants, however essential enzymes for xyloglucan metabolism, like XTH and β1→4-Glucan Synthase are found in Charophyceae algae. In many dicotyledonous plants, it is the most abundant hemicellulose in the primary cell wall. Xyloglucan binds to the surface of cellu...

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.
