CAS 15572-79-9
:L-Galactose
Description:
L-Galactose is a monosaccharide, specifically an aldohexose, that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. It is a stereoisomer of glucose and is characterized by its six-carbon structure, with a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to each carbon except for the aldehyde group at one end. L-Galactose is typically found in nature as part of larger carbohydrates, such as lactose, and is important in cellular metabolism and energy production. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water, exhibiting a sweet taste. The molecule can exist in both open-chain and cyclic forms, with the cyclic form being more prevalent in solution. L-Galactose is also involved in the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids, which are essential for cell recognition and signaling. Its CAS number, 15572-79-9, is used for identification in chemical databases. Overall, L-Galactose is significant in nutrition and biochemistry, contributing to various metabolic pathways and cellular functions.

CAS:<p>L-Galactose is a glycol ether that has been shown to have antibacterial efficacy against Gram-positive bacteria. It acts by inhibiting the synthesis of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, which is required for the synthesis of bacterial cell walls and their components. L-Galactose also has an inhibitory effect on the growth of Gram-negative bacteria by preventing methyl glycoside formation. L-Galactose has been used in polymerase chain reaction assays as a competitive inhibitor in analytical methods. It can be used at concentrations up to 5% and does not affect x-ray diffraction data or pluripotent cells.<br>L-galactose can be used as a preservative in cosmetics such as lotions, creams, and ointments due to its mildness and lack of toxicity. The use of L-galactose in these products may prevent spoilage due to microbial contamination.</p>Formula:C6H12O6Purity:Min. 99 Area-%Color and Shape:White PowderMolecular weight:180.16 g/molL-(-)-Galactose
