General description
Research area: Cell Signaling
Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) is a galactose metabolizing enzyme that facilitates the simultaneous conversion of uridine diphosphoglucose (UDP-glucose) and galactose-1-phosphate (gal-1P) to uridine diphosphogalactose (UDP-galactose) and glucose-1-phosphate. Classic Galactosemia (CG) is an inherited metabolic condition caused by deficiency of GALT activity. GALT gene is mapped to human chromosome 9p13. Deficiency of GALT results in type 1 galactosemia.

Galactosemia is an inherited metabolic disorder due to a defect in one of the three enzymes required to fully metabolize the galactose in glucose: the galactose 1-phosphate uridyltransferase. Because this enzyme is present in the normal foetal liver since the

GlnD is a bifunctional uridylyltransferase/uridylyl-removing enzyme that has a central role in the general nitrogen regulatory system NTR. In enterobacteria, GlnD uridylylates the PII proteins GlnB and GlnK under low levels of fixed nitrogen or ammonium. Under high ammonium levels

We developed a new non-derivatization analytical method for the determination of galactose in the diagnosis of galactosemia by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC)-pulsed amperometric detection (PAD). With an anion-exchange column, the analytes were separated efficiently using 3mM NaOH containing 1mM NaOAc
