Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Galactose
DescriptionL-Galactose, also known as α-L-galactose or L-galactopyranose, 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. L-Galactose is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on L-Galactose.
