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.
