D-Galactosamine-1-phosphate

CAS: 41588-64-1

D-Galactosamine-1-phosphate is a precursor of UDP-glucose and is used in the synthesis of fatty acids. D-Galactosamine-1-phosphate is synthesized by the enzyme UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, which catalyzes the reaction between UDP and D-galactose. It is expressed in strains that have been engineered to produce recombinant proteins. This product can be produced in vitro by a number of methods, including enzymatic or chemical synthesis. The enzyme activity of D-galactosamine 1 phosphate synthase is temperature dependent, with optimal activity at 40°C. This product has been shown to inhibit hepatitis virus production and lipid formation in vitro.
