Galα1,3Galβ1,4Glc (Gal-Gal-Glc Trisaccharide)

Product Overview

Galα1,3Galβ1,4Glc is a structurally defined neutral trisaccharide oligosaccharide composed of two galactose residues linked to a glucose core through specific α(1→3) and β(1→4) glycosidic bonds. This carbohydrate motif represents an important glycan structure frequently used as a model substrate in glycochemistry and enzymatic studies.

The compound is valuable in understanding glycosylation pathways, carbohydrate recognition, and enzyme specificity due to its well-characterized linkage configuration. Its consistent structure and high purity make it suitable as a reference standard in analytical and biochemical applications.
