SKU: orb2564994

Description

β-D-Galactose pentaacetate is a cell-permeable small molecule that inhibits leucine-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic islets. Its utility in diabetes research is supported by in vitro studies using rat islets, where it modulates insulin release pathways to explore mechanisms of hypersecretion.
