Uses and synthesis of Galactose powder

Galactose powder CAS number 59-23-4, molecular formula :C6H12O6, molecular weight :180.1559. White crystal, Galactose soluble in methanol, ethanol, DMSO and other organic solvents, derived from animal tissues, milk. Galactose is an important medium and synthetic component in enzyme and biochemical research. Galactose is also widely used in the pharmaceutical field, both as a carrier and as an active substance. As a component of galactosyltransferase labeled buffer, it supplements the growth of lactobacillus in MRS Broth and induces the expression of uncoupling protein (UCP) in yeast transformation.

Functions of Galactose powder

1. Energy source (minor): Although galactose is not as quickly utilized as glucose, it can still be metabolized and provide energy to fuel physical activity.

2. Brain development and function: Galactose is essential for brain development in infants and children. It is a key component in the synthesis of cerebrosides (an important component of neural tissue) and is essential for the formation, myelination and neurotransmission of nerve cells.

3. Immune function: Galactose is involved in the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids, which play an important role in immune cell recognition and cell communication and are essential for maintaining the normal function of the immune system.

4. Cell communication: Galactose is a component of cell surface sugar complexes, participates in cell-to-cell recognition and signaling, and affects cell growth, differentiation and tissue function.

5. Synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids: Galactose is a key building block for the synthesis of a variety of important biomolecules, such as glycoproteins and glycolipids. These molecules play a vital role in cell membrane structure, cell recognition, immune response, hormone action, etc.

Physiological functions of Galactose powder

Energy supply: Galactose provides energy to the body after metabolism.

Cell structure: Participates in the synthesis of glycolipids and glycoproteins, and is essential for cell membrane structure and function.

Nervous system: It is a component of cerebrosides and gangliosides, and plays an important role in the development and function of the nervous system.

Benefit of Galactose powder

1. Promote the brain development of infants and young children: Breast milk is rich in lactose, which provides galactose needed for the development of infant brains, which is essential for cognitive function and nervous system development.

2. Support intestinal health: Some studies have shown that galactose may have the potential to be a prebiotic, which can promote the growth of beneficial intestinal flora and improve intestinal health.

3. Promote calcium absorption (indirectly): The digestion products of lactose, galactose and glucose, may help promote calcium absorption.

4. Potential wound healing effect: Some studies have shown that galactose may have the potential to promote wound healing, but more research is needed to confirm.
