NBD-galactose

NBD-Galactose/7-Nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl-galactose/Galactose,NBD labeled is a fluorescent galactose derivative in which galactose is covalently modified with the green-emitting fluorophore NBD (7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole; Ex/Em ≈ 465/535 nm).It retains the ability of sugar to interact with galactose-specific lectins and receptors while providing bright fluorescence for tracking.
Applications:
Studying galactose-mediated targeting and liver-specific uptake.
Investigating carbohydrate-protein interactions (lectins, transporters).
Tracing glycoconjugate uptake in cells and tissues.
