Ref. 3D-G-2000

Product Information

• Name: α-D-Galactose 1-phosphate, dipotassium salt pentahydrate
• Synonyms: alpha-D-Galactopyranosyl phosphate dipotassium salt pentahydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Alpha-D-galactose 1-phosphate, dipotassium salt pentahydrate is a carbon source that can be used in biochemical and chemical ionization methods. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of lung fibroblasts. This compound is an inhibitor of glycolysis and inhibits the biosynthesis of galactose residues. Alpha-D-galactose 1-phosphate, dipotassium salt pentahydrate also inhibits the formation of glycogen and glucose from galactose residues as well as inhibiting the activity of enzymes involved in galactose metabolism. The inhibition of these enzymes leads to decreased galactose levels in diabetic patients.
