α-D-Galactopyranose

Description:

α-D-Galactopyranose is a monosaccharide, specifically an aldohexose, characterized by its six-membered pyranose ring structure. It is an isomer of glucose and is part of the galactose family of sugars. This compound is typically found in nature as a component of polysaccharides, such as galactans and in lactose, where it is linked to glucose. α-D-Galactopyranose is known for its sweet taste and is soluble in water due to its hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The molecule exhibits optical activity, rotating plane-polarized light to the right, and has a specific configuration at the anomeric carbon, which distinguishes it from its β-anomer. It plays a significant role in various biological processes, including cell recognition and signaling. Additionally, α-D-Galactopyranose can be utilized in food and pharmaceutical applications, serving as a sweetener or a building block for more complex carbohydrates. Its CAS number, 3646-73-9, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.

α-D-Galactose

CAS: 3646-73-9

α-D-Galactose is a monosaccharide that is found in the human serum. It is a potent inducer of liver lesions and mitochondrial membrane potential, which may be due to its ability to stimulate the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines. α-D-Galactose also has anti-inflammatory properties, as well as structural analysis properties that can be used for diagnosis. α-D-Galactose has been used as a model system for studying oligosaccharides, which are carbohydrates with more than one sugar unit. α-D-Galactose binds to sephadex g-100 by hydrogen bonds and can be detected by laser ablation mass spectrometry.
