Description

D-Galactose, [o-3,6-Anhydro-α-L-Galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-o-β-D-Galactopyranosyl-(1→4)]6-o-3,6-Anhydro-α-L-Galactopyranosyl-(1→3)- is a defined, high-purity oligosaccharide derivative of galactose, specifically a fragment of the complex polysaccharide agarose. This compound matters as a critical reference standard and biochemical building block for advanced research and development. It is primarily needed by scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and nutraceutical industries for applications in glycobiology, drug discovery, and the synthesis of complex carbohydrates.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: As a well-defined oligosaccharide for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions, enzyme specificity, and cell signaling pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: For the quality control and analytical method development of heparin-like drugs, polysaccharide-based therapeutics, and complex carbohydrate APIs.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Serving as a key intermediate or precursor in the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of larger, more complex glycans and glycoconjugates.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: For creating assays and biosensors that detect specific carbohydrate-binding proteins or antibodies.
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food Research: Investigating the prebiotic properties and structure-activity relationships of complex oligosaccharides.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A vital tool for universities and corporate labs focused on carbohydrate chemistry and marine polysaccharide derivatives.
