Información del producto

• Nombre: 2-Deoxy-D-galactose
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descripción: 2-Deoxy-D-galactose is a metabolite of the carbohydrate galactose. It is found in the rat striatum and has been shown to inhibit glutamate dehydrogenase activity. 2-Deoxy-D-galactose also inhibits 2,3,4,5 tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) induced neurotoxicity in mice by increasing levels of uridine and nucleotides in the brain. This agent also has an effect on glomerular filtration rate and on protein synthesis. The glycoside derivatives of 2-deoxy-D-galactose are formed by joining a sugar molecule to hydroxyl group. These derivatives are then transported into cells via glucose transport proteins.
