Biochem/physiol Actions

Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) 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.

Unit Definition

One unit will form 1.0 μmole of glucose 1-phosphate from UDP-glucose, galactose 1-phosphate and NADP+ per min at pH 8.7 at 25 °C as detected by a coupled system using phosphoglucomutase.

Physical form

Contains buffer salts as citrate and reduced glutathione

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
