CAS 59-23-4

Galactose

Description:

Galactose is a monosaccharide, a simple sugar that is an important carbohydrate in biology. It is an aldohexose, meaning it contains six carbon atoms and an aldehyde group. Galactose is typically found in dairy products and is a component of lactose, the sugar present in milk. It exists in two anomeric forms, alpha and beta, which differ in the orientation of the hydroxyl group at the first carbon. Galactose is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and has a sweet taste, although it is less sweet than glucose. It plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids, which are essential for cell recognition and signaling. In the human body, galactose is metabolized primarily in the liver, where it can be converted into glucose for energy. Its CAS number is 59-23-4, which uniquely identifies this compound in chemical databases. Overall, galactose is vital for numerous physiological functions and is a key component of various biomolecules.

D-Galactose - anhydrous

CAS: 59-23-4

Galactose (Gal) is the C4 epimer of glucose with one hydroxyl group axial which by Hudsons rules makes it slightly less stable than glucose (Hudson, 1948). However, galactose is very common in plants and animals, and occurs in many polysaccharides, such as, galactomannans (e.g. Guar, Locust Bean Gum), Carrageenans , Agar (L-Galactose), Hemicellulose, Gum Arabic [link] and galactans (e.g. from Lupin) (Whistler, 1993). Galactose is one of the key mammalian monosaccharides (glucose, galactose, mannose, fucose, N-acetyl glucosamine, N-acetyl galactosamine and sialic acid) and it occurs in blood, milk, gangliosides, N- and O-linked glycans (Gabius, 2009). Like glucose, galactose exhibits mutarotation (Acree, 1968) and is optically active (dextrorotary) with L-galactose as its enantiomer (levorotary).
