Metabolite Identification
Common NameBeta-D-Galactose
DescriptionBeta-D-Galactose, also known as beta-D-gal or gal-beta, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hexoses. These are monosaccharides in which the sugar unit is a is a six-carbon containing moeity. Beta-D-Galactose is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Beta-D-Galactose exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
