Homogalactoic acid (HG) is a pectin polysaccharide composed of α-1, 4-linked galactoic acid residues. Pectin consists of a complex web of polysaccharides that are present in the primary cell wall of land plants and are abundant in the non-woody parts. Pectin is an extracellular glue that binds cells together.
