alpha,alpha-trehalose

D-(+)-Trehalose dihydrate (α,α-Trehalose dihydrate) is a natural α-linked disaccharide formed by an α, α-1, 1-glucoside bond between two α-glucose units.

α,α-Trehalose 6-phosphate potassium is a glucose analogue with potent anti-hyperglycemic activity. It serves as a central signaling molecule in carbon metabolism regulation, particularly in plants and microorganisms, where it functions as a sensor for sucrose or glucose levels. In vivo, Tre6P is rapidly converted to its end product, α,α'-trehalose, by the enzyme α,α-Trehalose 6-phosphate phosphatase (T6PP). Beyond its role as a metabolic intermediate, Tre6P demonstrates potential in diabetic models to alleviate hyperglycemic symptoms by modulating glucose homeostasis.

Alpha,Beta-Trehalose-13C12 is a 13C-labelled form of D-(+)-Trehalose dihydrate. This trehalose dihydrate can be extracted from [Saccharomyces cerevisiae] and is utilized as a food ingredient and an excipient for active molecules.
