Metabolite Identification
Common NameGalactinol
DescriptionGalactinol, also known as Galactinol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as o-glycosyl compounds. These are glycoside in which a sugar group is bonded through one carbon to another group via a O-glycosidic bond. Galactinol is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Galactinol exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Galactinol can be biosynthesized from D-galactose and myo-inositol through the action of the enzyme Alpha-galactosidase a. In cattle, galactinol is involved in the metabolic pathway called the galactose metabolism pathway.
