Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Galactosamine is an amino sugar that integrates into glycoprotein and glycolipid biosynthesis pathways. It can disrupt hepatic UDP-dependent glycosylation, making it a powerful tool for modelling hepatotoxicity and liver inflammation through impaired protein synthesis and induced oxidative stress.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in liver-injury research, glycosylation-pathway studies, inflammatory cytokine modelling and carbohydrate-metabolism assays.
Side Effects and Risks
Can induce hepatocellular stress, inflammation and metabolic disturbances. Handle with hepatotoxicity-model precautions.
