α-Cyclodextrin non-reducing cyclic saccharide

Non-reducing cyclic saccharide consisting of six α-1,4-linked D-glucopyranosyl units produced by the action of cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase (CGTase, EC 2.4.1.19) on hydrolyzed starch. Useful for the solubilisation of nonpolar macromolecules such as fatty acids, lipids, and cholesterol for use in cell culture applications. Cyclodextrins are low molecular weight organic molecules which form water-soluble complexes with various compounds.
