(2R)-Glycerol-O-β-D-galactopyranoside is a substrate for β-galactosidase, the lactose repressor, the galactose-binding protein, and the β-methylgalactoside transport system. It also serves as a substrate for the third lac operon encoded enzyme, thiogalactoside transacetylase.

An excellent substrate for β-galactosidase and the lactose transport system as well as the lac repressor in E. coli. RGG serves as a substrate for the third lac operon encoded enzyme, thiogalactoside transacetylase.

ChEBI: 3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol is a D-galactosylglycerol. It has a role as a human metabolite.
