- Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase
Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (or GALT) is an
enzyme (EC number|2.7.7.12) responsible for converting ingestedgalactose toglucose .cite web | title = Entrez Gene: GALT galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=2592| accessdate = ]PBB_Summary
section_title =
summary_text = Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) catalyzes the second step of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism, namely the conversion of UDP-glucose + galactose-1-phosphate to 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 lactose is not removed from the diet. The pathophysiology of galactosemia has not been clearly defined.cite web | title = Entrez Gene: GALT galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=2592| accessdate = ]More specifically, it creates
UDP-galactose andglucose 1-phosphate fromUDP-glucose andgalactose 1-phosphate .Clinical significance
Deficiency of GALT causes
classic galactosemia .References
