4-O-(2-O-Methyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranose is utilized in scientific investigations as a galectin-3 ligand. Galectin-3, a protein involved in cell adhesion, proliferation, and apoptosis, is targeted by 2′-O-Methyl Lactose through a binding mechanism. Galectin-3, a carbohydrate-binding protein, identifies and attaches to specific carbohydrate structures on cell surfaces. 4-O-(2-O-Methyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranose a carbohydrate molecule, effectively imitates the natural ligands of galectin-3 and forms a strong bond with it. This interaction can impede the function of galectin-3, leading to modifications in cell adhesion, proliferation, and apoptosis.
