Description

1-O-(2R)-Glycerol-b-D-galactopyranoside is a biochemical that is produced by the hydrolysis of glycerol. It is found in fatty acid esterification and degradation processes, as well as in the synthesis of glycerin. It is also present in the skin tumor of cryptococcus neoformans. 1-O-(2R)-Glycerol-b-D-galactopyranoside may be used to diagnose or monitor diseases that affect the metabolism of lipids and carbohydrates, such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, or cardiovascular disease. This compound is also used in plant physiology to measure constant rates of photosynthesis.
