Chemical Structure
L-Galactose
- CAS No.: 15572-79-9
- Formula:C6H12O6
- Molecular Weight:180.16
IUPAC Name: (2S,3R,4R,5S)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanal
InChIKey: GZCGUPFRVQAUEE-DPYQTVNSSA-N
SMILES: OC[C@H](O)[C@@H](O)[C@@H](O)[C@H](O)C=O
Biological Activity: L-Galactose is a key intermediate in the de novo synthesis of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) in plants. It is converted into L-ascorbic acid by participating in the VTC2 cycle and enzymatic steps, exerting antioxidant activities, maintaining cell structure, and participating in the carbon flow distribution of photosynthesis. L-Galactose can be used to study the analysis of the synthesis pathway of vitamin C in plant physiology[1][2][3].
