Product Description: β-D-Galactose pentaacetate is a negative regulator of insulin with plasma membrane penetrating ability and can be hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases. β-D-Galactose pentaacetate inhibits leucine-induced insulin release in Wistar rat islets, potentially preventing excessive insulin release in pathological conditions[1].
Formula: C16H22O11
