Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase
text:
Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase is an enzyme responsible for converting ingested galactose to glucose. Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) catalyzes the second step of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism, namely:
- UDP-glucose + galactose 1-phosphate ⇌ glucose 1-phosphate + UDP-galactose The expression of GALT is controlled by the actions of the FOXO3 gene. The absence of this enzyme results in classic galactosemia in humans and can be fatal in the newborn period if l
