Description

1-O-Methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside is a monosaccharide sugar, which is a natural product of the degradation of plant cell walls. It is found in the blood of humans and other animals. 1-O-Methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside has been shown to be an important reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, which can protect cells from oxidative damage by reacting with ROS and converting them into less harmful molecules. 1-O-Methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside binds to lectins and oligosaccharides, which are carbohydrate structures on the surface of cells that are involved in cellular recognition. This binding process may lead to uptake of 1OmBG by cells, which may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl group on polysaccharides such as polysaccharides in the plasma membrane or glycoproteins
