Cholesteryl-alfa-D-glucopyranoside (CGL) is composed of a cholesterol molecule linked to a glucose sugar (glucopyranoside) through an alfa-glycosidic bond
Cholesteryl-alfa-D-glucopyranoside (CGL) is a unique lipid molecule that plays a significant role in the biology of Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium known to cause gastric diseases such as chronic gastritis and gastric cancer
Cholesteryl-alfa-D-glucopyranoside (CGL) is a major component of the Helicobacter Pylori / H. pylori / Campylobacter pylori cell wall and its
synthesis is critical for th…
