Las hexosaminas son amino azúcares formados por la adición de un grupo amina a una hexosa. En las figuras de la derecha se puede apreciar la diferencia entre la glucosa y su respectiva hexosamina, la glucosamina, en la cual el grupo -OH (hidroxilo) del carbono 2 ha sido sustituido por un grupo -NH2 (amino). Entre los diversos ejemplos de hexosaminas, cabe destacar los siguientes: * (sintetizada a partir de fructosa). * Galactosamina (sintetizada a partir de galactosa). * Glucosamina (sintetizada a partir de glucosa). * (sintetizada a partir de manosa).
