Benzyl β-D-Glucopyranoside (CAS 4304-12-5)
QUICK LINKS
Benzyl β-D-glucopyranoside is a sugar-based compound that has found utility as a fundamental component in organic synthesis, as well as a reagent for diverse biochemical and physiological investigations. Functioning as a substrate, Benzyl β-D-glucopyranoside interacts with a range of enzymes, encompassing glycoside hydrolases, glycosyltransferases, and glycosyl hydrolases. These enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of Benzyl β-D-glucopyranoside, yielding a β-D-glucopyranose molecule and a benzyl alcohol moiety. The subsequent metabolism of the benzyl alcohol occurs through the involvement of other enzymes, such as alcohol dehydrogenase, leading to the formation of benzaldehyde. Further enzymatic transformations, facilitated by aldehyde dehydrogenase, result in the conversion of benzaldehyde back into benzyl alcohol.
