3-O-Triisopropylsilyl-D-galactal

Ref. 3D-MT04330

Product Information

• Name: 3-O-Triisopropylsilyl-D-galactal
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-O-Triisopropylsilyl-D-galactal is a carbohydrate that belongs to the group of sugars. It is an oligosaccharide with a complex structure, which is synthesized from D-galactal by treatment with triisopropylsilyl chloride in pyridine. 3-O-Triisopropylsilyl-D-galactal is used as a reagent for the methylation and glycosylation of proteins and nucleic acids. This compound has been shown to inhibit the enzyme carboxypeptidase A, which may be due to its ability to act as an inhibitor of carbohydrate binding. 3-O-Triisopropylsilyl-D-galactal has also been shown to bind specifically to erythrocyte membranes, suggesting that it could be used as a potential diagnostic marker for glycogen storage diseases.
