Metabolite Identification
Common NameGalactonic acid
DescriptionGalactonic acid, also known as D-galactonate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain hydroxy acids and derivatives. These are hydroxy acids with a 6 to 12 carbon atoms long side chain. Galactonic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Galactonic acid, with regard to humans, has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder galactosemia. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Galactonic acid.
