Application

D-Galactose is a fundamental substrate in carbohydrate metabolism studies, particularly in elucidating pathways like the Leloir cycle. It is utilized in cell culture media to support the growth of galactose-metabolizing organisms and in the production of glycoproteins. Researchers also employ it as a chiral building block for synthesizing glycosides, oligosaccharides, and glycan arrays. In diagnostics, it serves as a component in assays for galactosemia screening.
