Description

2-Deoxy-D-galactose is used as an inhibitor of fucosylation, which is a process of adding hexose deoxy sugar units to a molecule. It is used for studying galactose uptake into Escherichia coli and also for competitive elution of Anadarin P lectin (a galactosyl-binding lectin from blood clam). This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
