Product Information

• Name: 6-O-Acetyl-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-galactopyranose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Glycosylation is the chemical process of adding sugars to other molecules. It often occurs in the cell, but can also be done in a lab. The process of glycosylation is called O-glycosylation when it attaches a carbohydrate molecule to an amino acid or protein, and it's called N-glycosylation when it attaches a carbohydrate molecule to nitrogen-containing compounds such as proteins or nucleic acids. 6-O-Acetyl-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-a-D-galactopyranose is a synthetic compound that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of glycoproteins and other complex carbohydrates. This product has been modified by fluorination and acetylation. It has been shown to inhibit cancer cell proliferation, induce apoptosis (cell death), and increase chemosensitivity in cancer cells.
