Galactose 1-phosphate, an intermediate substance in both galactose metabolism and nucleotide sugar processes, plays a crucial role in the biochemical pathways involved.
1,6-Anhydro-D-galactose is a carbohydrate found in liquid smoke flavorings that is used as a tracer of the contribution of biomass burning to total atmospheric particulate matter.
6-O-2-Propyn-1-yl-D-galactose functions as an irreversible glycolinker, facilitating the attachment of cytotoxic drugs for applications in antibody-drug conjugation.
6-O-beta-D-Galactopyranosyl-D-galactose, a disaccharide, is a constituent of the polysaccharide backbone characterized by beta-(1→6) glycoside linkages, with a side chain attached to the primary chain through a beta-(1→3) bond.
