Product Information

• Name: UDP-a-D-galactose disodium salt
• Synonyms: Uridine 5'-diphospho-a-D-galactose disodium saltUDP-a-D-galactose disodium salt
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: UDP-a-D-galactose disodium salt is a nucleotide sugar that is used in the synthesis of oligosaccharides. It is also used to identify mammalian cells that express UDP-galactose:quinone oxidoreductase, which are responsible for synthesizing the sugar. It is a building block of the influenza virus and has been shown to inhibit viral growth by interfering with RNA synthesis. This compound can be synthesized using solid-phase synthesis or multienzyme strategy.
