DescriptionD-Galactose, also known as alpha-D-gal or ALPHA D-galactose, 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. D-Galactose is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). D-Galactose exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. D-Galactose is a potentially toxic compound.
