Product Description
D-Galactose is a natural hexose sugar, the C-4 epimer of glucose.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Galactose plays a major role in the survival and pathogenicity of bacteria. In E. Galactose is mostly used by the Leloir pathway in E. Coli. Each of the three d-galactose terminal groups has a distinct function; α-d-galactose serves as a carbon source, while β-d-galactose stimulates the synthesis of UDP-galactose for the biosynthetic glycosylation process [1].
ln Vivo
In animal modeling, D-galactose can be utilized to create models of cataract tracking and mouse subacute dormancy. Chronic exposure to D-galactose increases oxidative damage, enhances caspase-mediated cell display, and inhibits neurogenesis and neural migration in mice, all of which lead to neurodegeneration. Moreover, D-galactose-induced sensitization is a helpful model for researching medication processes and neurodegenerative and neuroprotective treatments [2]. The ultimate suggested D-galactose route results in oxidative damage and cognitive impairment. Cognitive deficits were noted in the open field test at 4 and 6 weeks following the d-gal tower, whereas deficits in spatial memory were noted in the maze test at 6 weeks following the d-gal tower [3].

Additional Infomation
Aldehydo-D-galactose is a D-galactose and an aldehydo-galactose. It is an enantiomer of an aldehydo-L-galactose.
(2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanal has been reported in Camellia sinensis, Ascochyta medicaginicola, and other organisms with data available.
Galactose is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
An aldohexose that occurs naturally in the D-form in lactose, cerebrosides, gangliosides, and mucoproteins. Deficiency of galactosyl-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALACTOSE-1-PHOSPHATE URIDYL-TRANSFERASE DEFICIENCY DISEASE) causes an error in galactose metabolism called GALACTOSEMIA, resulting in elevations of galactose in the blood.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
